The sun is shining, the waves are crashing, and the sand is warm. What could be better than spending a day at the beach? There’s nothing like spending a day at the beach to relax and unwind. You can spend hours lying in the sun, feeling the warmth on your skin. Or you can take a walk along the shore, watching the waves come in. And don’t forget the sandcastle building!
The beach offers something for everyone, from sunbathing and swimming. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, you can even spend part of the day at the beach learning to surf. Board rentals and surfing lessons can be found all along the coast, and many of them offer help for beginners all the way to pros.
No matter how you choose to spend your day at the beach, however, one of the most important parts is planning your beach drinks. There are many great drinks to enjoy on a day at the beach. One option is to bring a cooler filled with cold drinks and snacks. Options for beverages include water, juice, soda, beer, and wine. Aside from this, there are specialty cocktails that you might also consider to help make the day even more special. Let’s take a look at some great drinks for a day at the beach.
Mai Tais
Mai Tais are cocktails made with rum, Curaçao, orgeat syrup, and lime juice. They were invented in the early 1800s by Chinese immigrants who moved to the Pacific Islands. The name is derived from the phrase “mai tai roa ai,” which means “very strong alcoholic drink.” Mai Tais are typically served chilled or on the rocks and can be garnished with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, or orange slice.
Piña Colada Slushies
Piña Colada Slushies are a delicious drink to enjoy on a hot day. To make them, combine two cups of pineapple juice, one cup of coconut milk, and one cup of rum in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for several hours. Once frozen, use a fork to scrape the mixture into chunks and put it back in the blender. Blend until smooth and serve immediately.
Rum Runner
A Rum Runner is a classic drink that can be made with just a few ingredients. To make a Rum Runner, you’ll need dark rum, light rum, banana liqueur, and cranberry juice. You can find all of these ingredients at your local liquor store. To make the drink, start by pouring all of the ingredients into a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a hurricane glass. Garnish with a slice of banana and a maraschino cherry, and serve.
Margarita
Margaritas are a classic beach drink for a reason. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also incredibly easy to make. All you need is some quality tequila, lime juice, and a good margarita mix. You can also make your own mix if you have a great recipe. If you’re looking for a new twist on the traditional margarita, why not try adding some fruit to the mix? Frozen fruit makes for a delicious and refreshing addition, and it’s perfect for keeping your drink cold on a hot day. You can serve your margarita on the rocks or frozen.
When it comes to hanging out by the ocean, there’s nothing like enjoying a cold beverage while spending a day at the beach. The sound of waves crashing against the shore, the sun shining down on you, and a refreshing beverage in your hand is the best way to enjoy the beach. So grab your favorite drink ingredients and head out to the sand for a day of fun in the sun.
