For many of us, summer means packing up the car, stocking the cooler, and heading out into the great outdoors. Whether you’re camping, boating, backpacking, golfing, or just hanging out in the backyard, there’s no shortage of gear to help you make your outdoor drinking experience more fun.
Go Minimal
The whole point of outdoor living is relaxing and getting back to basics, so this isn’t the time for complex cocktails or fancy glassware. That said, there’s no reason to punish yourself. It’s worth tracking down some decent travel glassware, like these unbreakable whiskey glasses
from D’Eco. Tuck a couple of whiskey stones
in the bottom of your cooler, and you’re all set.

Or Go Maximal
Packing up the RV for an extended road trip? Hunkering down for some serious car camping? Just headed over to your neighbor’s back yard? Then there’s no reason to go minimal. Instead, lean into the incredible proliferation of outdoor drinking accessories, from this transportable drinking table
from Tovolo, or these totally goofy bottle-and-glass stakes
from Sorbus (they’re marketed for wine, but there’s no reason you couldn’t stick a bottle of Glenmorangie in there, instead).

READ THE STORYIf you’re backpacking, there’s no reason to lug a glass bottle along with you. Not only is it unnecessary weight, it also poses a breakage hazard. Instead, decant your favorite dram into a durable, lightweight flask. These days you have a zillion different options, including insulated flasks
, extra-large flasks
, and flasks emblazoned with the logos of your favorite sports teams
. You can even get a miniature funnel
to make filling your flask easier.
