The Best Cocktails For The Beach

Published: Aug 6, 2024 by Ali

These are the best cocktails for the beach! If you are going to the beach this summer and looking for easy alcoholic drinks to bring with you, this list of beachy drinks has got you covered.

These summer beach cocktails are all easy to make, delicious and fruity drinks that are great for a crowd. For some other summer drinks, try these Summer Gin Cocktails. 

Or if summer is coming to an end, plan your Labor Day Party with one or two of these Labor Day Drinks.

Why These Are The Best Beachy Drinks

  • Make in Advance — If you want to have drinks at the beach, you definitely don’t want to have to make them there, in the sand. All these cocktails can be made in advance and then brought in a pitcher in a cooler so they are ready to serve. 
  • Easy to Make — These are all easy, beachy mixed drinks that don’t take too much preparation and use easy to find ingredients. 
  • Refreshing — When you are in the hot sun, you need an extra refreshing drink — and all of these beach cocktails fit the bill.
  • Large Batch — All of these drinks can be made in a large batch so you can bring a large pitcher for friends and family to share.

Expert Tips To Make The Best Alcoholic Drinks For The Beach

  • Don’t add ice before serving. Bring ice with you in a cooler, but don’t add the ice until you serve the drinks on the beach. Otherwise, the drinks will become watered down. 
  • Chill drinks in the fridge before leaving. Once you make your beach cocktails, chill them in the fridge for an hour or two before transporting them to the beach. This makes sure they stay as cold as possible.
  • Transport cocktails in a thermos or cooler. Transport the drinks to the beach in a quality cooler packed with ice, or a thermos to make sure the drinks stay ice cold. 
  • Serve drinks in beach tumblers. Insulated beach tumblers are great for sipping beach drinks in. They help keep your cocktail cold and keep the sand out, plus they are reusable.
