Drinks can be a huge part of a festival. Whether you want to get your booze on, or are just looking for something refreshing to sip on, the festival drinks options are endless.
From zesty nonalcoholic mojitos to rich alcohol-free craft beer, you’ll find drinks that will keep you hydrated all weekend long.
Metal Water Bottles
A metal water bottle can be a great way to stay hydrated at the festival. Our bodies are 60% water, so staying hydrated for our health is vital. It’s not always easy to drink enough fluids. From tiny cups at the water coolers to carrying a large bag full of water bottles around, drinking on the move can be a hassle.
The stainless steel bottles are a simple solution to this problem. They’re lightweight and durable. They are also easy to clean, with a simple bottle brush and dish soap. They are also very energy-efficient, and can be fully recyclable at the end.
The best metal water bottles are made of double-walled stainless steel with a vacuum between them. This prevents heat or cold from transferring to the outside and keeps your drink warm or cold for several hours. This is much better than the old crappy aluminium ones that used to be so popular, which gave your water an awful taste.
A good reusable water bottle should also be leakproof. It will also have a lid which you can easily open or close. The narrow shape will fit into most cupholders or bags so you can take it anywhere.
GREY GOOSE Vodka
GREY GOOSE Vodka is made using a high-quality wheat to create an exceptional vodka that’s silky smooth. The grain is fermented with yeast and then distilled. The vodka is then filtered to remove any impurities. This results in a smooth, premium vodka.
This premium vodka works well in a variety of drinks and can be enjoyed straight or mixed with ice. You can also mix it with a cocktail such as a cosmopolitan or vodka martini. GREY GOOSE offers a variety of flavored vodkas. These include La Poire, which is made from the essences of French anjou pears; L’Orange, which is made from the flavoring of fresh oranges; and Le Citron, made with lemons grown in the world-famous Menton region.
These flavored vodkas are great for festivals, as they’re easy-to-mix, have a mild taste and don’t require much cooling. They’re great to have in your bag for when you’re out.
A popular drink for a festival is the vodka cranberry, which is made with GREY GOOSE L’Orange infused vodka, lime juice and cranberry syrup. This easy to mix drink is a crowd pleaser and helps make your time at the festival even more enjoyable. This drink is not only delicious but also healthy because it contains fewer calories than most cocktails.
Smoothies
Smoothies are an easy, portable and nutritious way to satisfy your hunger while on the move. Smoothies are a great energy booster, especially when they contain ingredients high in complex carbs and other nutrients that boost power. It is important to select healthy ingredients when making a smoothie.
Smoothie recipe can be customized to fit your needs, whether vegan, dairy free or you want more protein. A few well-chosen options include unflavored skim or 1% milk (or non-dairy alternatives), green tea, fruit, ice, and spices like cinnamon, ginger, or spirulina, which is an algae that is rich in antioxidants.
It is important to think about the size of your serving when making a smoothie. According to Eatwell Guide, one serving is 150ml. This is smaller than the little smoothie bottles that you can buy. It is also less than half the size a standard soft drink can.
Make sure to pack all your ingredients and prepare them in advance to make it easier to assemble your smoothie on the day. For example, keep your blender, ice, and milk in a container in the fridge and combine your ingredients before heading out the door. This will save time and ensure your smoothie is tasty and fresh.
Jelly Shots
The Jello shots can be made with different spirits and flavors. The basic ingredients include flavored gelatin, such as Jell-O, vodka and water. You can also add other types of liqueurs, such as tequila, orange juice, gin, strawberry or even coconut rum. Then top with a squirt of whipped cream or bite sized pieces of fruit for an extra treat. Use sprinkles to add a festive flair or use a mould to create a holiday design.
One of the most popular alcoholic drinks to serve during festivals are jelly shots. These boozy jiggly treats are a great addition to any party or get together. They can be made from any type alcohol and are very easy to make.
To make a batch, you will need a few one-ounce deli disposable plastic cups with lids (the kind you would put salad dressing in). For every 16 shots you will need a cup of a cocktail mix, a cup water and two packets powdered gelatin. The gelatin must be dissolved in boiling hot water before adding it to the cocktail. Once the mixture is stirred well, you can pour it into the cups and let the shots set up in the fridge for a few hours.
