Cocktails that Travel Well: What to Take to a Party or To Go

Warmer weather is the gateway to fun outdoor moments like cookouts, picnic gatherings, patio parties and many more occasions under the sun. Read along to learn more about great tips for cocktails on the go.

Consider Make-Ahead Cocktails

RSVP to your next party and bring a large batch cocktail as your plus one to share. It’s easy to prepare jug cocktails ahead of time and if you need some help, check out our jug cocktail tips. Just put it all in one receptacle and be ready to pour upon arrival. A great option is the Blood Orange Sangria. Thinking about brunch with friends? Try a jug of Bloody Mary.

Simplicity Is Key

You don’t need a lot of ingredients to make a sophisticated, palate-pleasing cocktail. Let the naturally tasteful flavour of GREY GOOSE® Vodka shine through by making a Grey Goose & Soda.

Many flavourful, simple drinks can be made with Grey Goose Essences and soda, like the Strawberry Lemongrass & Tonic, Watermelon Basil & Tonic and White Peach Rosemary & Tonic.

All of these recipes just require bringing two bottles — the spirit and the soda water — to your party (and maybe some optional garnishes) and mixing once you arrive.

For a flavourful and super convenient alternative, grab some Grey Goose Essences Canned Cocktails in refreshing flavors like Strawberry & Lemongrass Spritz and Watermelon & Basil Spritz, which are made with vodka infused with real fruit and botanical essences, and sparkling water. Just chill them, pack them, and go.

General Barware and Container Advice

To master your mixology skills on the go, you’ll need to bring the right bar tools with you. The number of tools you’ll need depends on how sophisticated and creative your drinks will be. Go all out or choose easy large batch cocktails.

If making the drinks ahead of time, make sure you pack them securely, so the liquid stays put. A jug with a lid, ice packs and a carrying case to safekeep your glass bottles are all an excellent investment for your next gathering.

Enjoy Canned Convenience
