Summer storms or not, if you’re heading camping (or to the bach) this long weekend, we’ve got the best portable drinks to make entertaining on-the-go a breeze (even if you’re stuck inside the tent for most of the time!)
WINE-IN-A-CAN
Thought cans were just for soda or beer? Think again. Jacob’s Creek have just released their Moscato in a can, perfect for al fresco sipping under the stars. RRP $18.99 (4 x 250ml)
READY, STEADY, GO
If you’re not glamping then it’s unlikely a cocktail shaker will make it into your camping kit, but thankfully there are some fantastic craft RTDs now, that make flavoursome drinking on-the-go a breeze. If you want to step things up a bit, our top tip is to fancy up your RTD by adding ice and fresh fruit for the quickest and easiest cocktail ever (pictured below).
Our top RTD picks for camping (pictured below from left) are:
- Pimms, Lemonade & Ginger, RRP $14.99 (4 Pack 330ml)
- Long White Passionfruit, RRP $25.99, (10Pk 320ml)
- Lilli Blueberry Lemon Spritzer, RRP $13.99 (4 Pack 250ml)
CAN-DO ATTITUDE
Drinking beer or cider in the great outdoors is one of summer’s simplest pleasures. The best ones for the task? Anything that comes in a can. Not only are cans significantly lighter than bottles, they completely block out UV rays which can cause your beer or cider to go bad. They’re also shatterproof, easy to recycle and don’t require an opener. Win win! Do the can-can with these great Kiwi beers and ciders...
