Must-Have RTIC Cooler Drink Recipes
1. Classic Tailgate Cocktail: The Ultimate Bloody Mary
The Ultimate Bloody Mary is a game-day classic that's sure to please a crowd. With its bold flavor and spicy kick, it's the perfect pick-me-up for halftime. To make it, mix together tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and a dash of celery salt. Garnish with a celery stalk and a pickle spear, and serve over ice in an RTIC tumbler.
2. Refreshing and Fruity: Watermelon Frosé
For a fruity and refreshing option, try this Watermelon Frosé. Blend together seedless watermelon, frozen strawberries, rose wine, and a touch of honey for sweetness. Pour the mixture into your RTIC cooler and let it chill until ready to serve. This drink is as beautiful as it is delicious, with a stunning pink hue that's perfect for summer games.
3. Spicy and Sweet: Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita
Craving something spicy and sweet? This Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita is the perfect balance of both. Muddle jalapeño slices, cucumber, and lime in a shaker. Add tequila, triple sec, and agave nectar, then shake with ice. Strain into an RTIC rocks glass filled with ice and garnish with a jalapeño slice and lime wheel.
4. Non-Alcoholic Option: Sparkling Berry Lemonade
Not everyone wants an alcoholic beverage, but that doesn't mean they should miss out on the fun. This Sparkling Berry Lemonade is a refreshing and delicious non-alcoholic option. Mix together lemon juice, simple syrup, and berry puree, then top off with sparkling water. Serve over ice in an RTIC tumbler and garnish with fresh berries.
5. Boozy Popsicles: Adult Ice Pops
For a fun and unique halftime treat, try these Adult Ice Pops. Blend together your favorite fruit, a touch of sugar, and your choice of liquor (we like vodka or rum). Pour the mixture into ice pop molds and freeze. Once frozen, store in your RTIC cooler until ready to serve. These are a hit with adults and kids alike!
6. Classic and Simple: The Perfect Beer Cooler
Sometimes, simple is best. For the ultimate beer cooler, fill your RTIC cooler with ice and your favorite brews. To keep the beer cold and the ice from melting, try this trick: freeze a few water bottles overnight, then use them as ice packs in your cooler. As they melt, they won't water down your drinks like traditional ice.
Storage and Serving Tips
To keep your drinks cold and your RTIC cooler in tip-top shape, follow these storage and serving tips:
- Pre-chill your cooler and drinks before adding ice.
- Use ice packs or frozen water bottles to keep drinks cold without watering them down.
- Keep your cooler out of direct sunlight and in a cool, shaded area.
- Use the RTIC cooler's wide mouth and easy-pour design to serve drinks quickly and efficiently.
With these RTIC cooler drink recipes and serving tips, you're ready to host the ultimate halftime show. So grab your cooler, invite your friends, and get ready to cheer on your team in style!
