Pre-Made Backpacking Cocktails - Bring Drinks Anywhere
Did you know that there are pre-made boozy drink mixes? Like WHUT????
So, I pretty much love having a mixed drink after a long days hike. Sitting around a campfire just sipping on your favorite cocktail is beyond amazing to me. Am I right?
When you are out backpacking alot of people don’t think that they can enjoy their favorite mixed drink, or a mixed drink at all for that matter. Most the time people either skip the booze or bring straight alcohol for taking shots. Well, those days are over my friend! I found something awesome for you! Pre-mixed Cocktails! Ugh I just can’t even!
So there are a couple things that you are going to need before you can make your backpacking cocktails. You are going to need a lightweight flask and a lightweight mug.
Here are my absolute favorite options:
Ok, lets talk about these things:
Pre-Made Backpacking Cocktails -
1. Pocket Cocktails by BarCountry
I have seen these are pretty much ever backpacking / outdoorsy store there is. They come in all sorts of flavors:
Moscow Mule
Bloody Mary
Old fashioned
Margaritas
For the most part all you have to do is add water and your hard alcohol to the drink mix and BOOM! Your favorite cocktail!
Margaritaville singles
DUDE the variety that this place has is awesome and let me tell you I fugging love margaritas! They have Pina Coladas, Margaritas, Strawberry margaritas, Strawberry Daiquiris, and more! I am ordering these on Amazon prime so I can start having them even when I am not backpacking!
RSVP Skinnies cocktail mixers
These are similar to the drink mixes above, only they are “SKINNY”. Now, let me be real here for a minute. I gain 5-10 lbs every time I go backpacking. I am seriously not exaggerating. It actually is incredibly common for you to hold water and salt when you go backpacking and exert a bunch of energy. The weight always goes away within 2 weeks of getting back home, but man is it annoying. Now, I want to make sure to do everything in my power to not gain more weight than I normally do, so these skinny drinks look pretty awesome at this moment! I haven’t tried them, so if you try them make sure to comment below and let me know how they are and if I should try them :)
Wine2Go:
This is for you wine lovers.
This is like a flask for wine! Now, if you love having a glass of wine before be, or in the afternoon just to relax this just might be your thing! You do have to provide your own wine. This is just the flask
Just fill your Wine2Go case with your favorite wine, pack it in, and BOOM! You can have your favorite wine on the trail.
Now, this doesn’t work too well for me, cause whenever I drink wine I want to drink the entire bottle. Now, if I were to have a bottle per night that would be a GAWD awful amount of weight. That is why I stick to whisky or vodka :)
