My Party Drinks of Choice {What Are Yours?}

March 9, 2009 By Stephanie

I drink one soda…about every six months. That sweet sticky carbonated stuff just isn’t my favorite.

I also don’t drink beer. In fact, I’ve never even tasted it. The smell alone keeps me away.

So – when I go to parties, the coolers usually don’t hold anything that tantalizes my taste buds. Coke? Yuck. Diet Coke? Double Yuck. Beer? Triple Yuck.

I’m picky, I know.

If you were stocking your cooler for me, you would probably have these four drinks available:

arbor mist sangriaArbor Mist Minis in an assortment of flavors : Cool. Refreshing. And – surprisingly – not very expensive.

kerns apricot nectarKern’s Apricot Nectar : There’s something about the thick fruitiness of nectar that I appreciate. Usually just one small glass will satisfy.

100% grapefruit juice100% Grapefruit Juice : Any brand. But I prefer the Ruby Red varieties.

sprechers bottled root beerBottled Root Beer : When I do drink soda every once in a blue moon, I typically opt for bottled root beer. Often as a float with natural Vanilla ice cream. I haven’t had it enough to pick a particular brand as my favorite, but I do know that the bottled kind is better.

I didn’t list water bottles because I think they’re a waste at parties. Instead of stocking up on bottles, I recommend that party hosts set out some nice glass pitchers with ice water, perhaps garnished with lemon wedges on top. Or just encourage guests to use the refrigerator to fill up their glasses. Much more economical, much better for the environment.

    I love various types of fruit juices and lemonade.

    I’m with you on the Kern’s in just about any of their flavors so long as it doesn’t include Grapefruit. The entire family loves Barq’s Root Beer. My youngest son loves Code Red Mountain Dew. My oldest son likes Pepsi and I like Cherry Coke which is were we really draw the line of preference. But Raspberry Tea is something we can all agree on. As for beer…unless its apple beer there’s no point of putting it on the list.

    March 12, 2009 at 5:36 pm

  121. Jen Neal says

    March 12, 2009 at 4:41 pm

    I’d pick beer!

  122. Mia J. says

    March 12, 2009 at 4:07 pm

  136. Dolly says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:51 pm

    i’m totally with you on the root beer or birch beer. we had kegs of it at our wedding reception! but truly, I’m a water fan. instead of soda, i opt for club soda with some cranberry juice or orange juice mixed in. that was MY DRINK when i was pregnant…well, that and lemonade.

  137. Ruth Bousquet says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:09 pm

    Beer here and wine for me. Great cooler, nice on the deck, everyone in the spa.

  138. Mary M. says

  139. Colleen S says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    If you wanted to really surprise me, mix up a batch of Aqua Fresca like they have in the Mercados in Mexico. I never have tasted anything as refreshing in my life.

    But If your not up for surprise, gimme a tomato beer and Id be pretty content.

  140. michelle lopez says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:09 pm

    I would put Vita Rain, Water and sugar free Margaritas.

  141. brianna says

  143. April says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:58 pm

    If you were planning a party in my honor I would want you to stock that cooler with beer, the darker the better. If I do ever drink a soda I only drink Coke Zero.

  144. nicole says

    March 11, 2009 at 4:55 pm

    I would like cream soda, IBM rootbear, cherry pepsi, and Dr. Pepper.

  145. Michael says

    50 kinds of good beer

  146. Gina Stratos says

    Hmmmm…. how many bottles of wine could fit in the cooler? I also like a good amber ale.

  147. Ken Robinson says

    March 11, 2009 at 3:31 pm

    We only use store brand sodas at our summer BBQs but we fill the tub with many flavors and lots of ice. Please accept my entry. Thank you.

  148. Kristy Clayman says

    March 11, 2009 at 3:14 pm

    my favorites would be Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and some nice sweet tea!

  149. Sylvia Belle says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:36 pm

    I like Ice Tea unsweetened but I need a thermos for beer for my parties.

  150. Linda Gilbert says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:22 pm

    The party pack is big enough for everyone’s favorite beverages and yet would be nice to store. I love it.

  151. Kate says

    March 11, 2009 at 1:42 pm

    Water, 100% Juice, Iced Tea, and regular coke and sprite

  152. Deborah R. says

    March 11, 2009 at 1:33 pm

    If you were planning a party for me, you’d stock Kern’s Apricot and/or Peach necter, Stewart’s Root Beer in a bottle, cold-brewed decaf iced tea and maybe one frozen strawberry daquiri.

  153. Rose says

    March 11, 2009 at 1:07 pm

    If you were stocking it for me, I’d love to have Ocean Spray cran-drinks (any variety), or the individual-sized bottles of Welch’s Grape Juice.
    msurosey@yahoo.com

  154. tanya says

    March 11, 2009 at 12:49 pm

    Diet coke, cherry coke, diet dr. pepper vanilla/cherry, or water.

  155. Ron says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:46 am

    Would use it this summer w/ icepack to bring frozen food back from store.

  156. Charlotte Lapham says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:41 am

    The “American Classic 54 Can Collapsible Party Tub”
    would be perfect for my House Warming Party…I have just the right spot on my new covered patio!

  157. Lori collison says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:23 am

    Wine, beer, waters, and some diet coke. The perfect cooler tub for tailgating!

  158. Susan C says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:21 am

    I would fill it with flavored wine coolers!

  159. Monique Rizzo says

    March 11, 2009 at 11:14 am

    Wine and beer! Great combination!! Thanks for the Chance.

  161. Carol says

  163. patricia skinner says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:44 am

    Water and Cherry Coke for me~!~I drink mostly water but I do have cherry coke on occasion.

  164. Laurelib says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:43 am

    I love sparkling water. La Croix water, Perrier or Pellegrino. Those little wine bottles are cute, too. I like bottles of Guinness.

  165. Denise B. says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:42 am

    We are so limited for room that anything that can be folded up, collapsed down, and so on, helps in saving what little space we have. This would be great for the little ones’ birthday parties.

  166. TiffanyO says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:33 am

    This collapsible cooler would be perfect for our camping excursions…we currently use an aluminum tub which takes up way too much room in the trunk. I’d fill it with my favorite natural sodas and microbrews.

  167. dianne says

    March 11, 2009 at 9:00 am

    I’d have to fill it w/ some wine.

  168. Mary Marlatt says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:59 am

    If you were having a party for me, you would fill it with Diet Coke and Coors Light :)

  169. Leona P says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:52 am

    diet mountain dew, water, diet pepsi

  170. Linda says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:20 am

    I would put any Pepsi product and bottled water in my cooler at our party. We have family cook outs and this would really come in handy for keeping our drinks cool.

  171. Trisha R says

    March 11, 2009 at 8:07 am

    My favorite party drink is sangria – its easy to make in bulk and a crowd pleaser!

  172. Diana says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:52 am

    for alcoholic drinks I would say mikes hard lemonade and woodchuck cider. I also like hansons juices and izzi soda. great cooler, thanks!

  173. cathi rushing says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:52 am

    great tub for out parties, what a neat idea

  174. Melissa Thomson says

    March 11, 2009 at 7:09 am

    I don’t like soda, and don’t like sweet drinks. It would have to be water or beer for me! Maybe lemonade . . .

  175. Angie says

    March 11, 2009 at 6:54 am

    My drink of choice would honestly be bottled water. But cans of Cranberry juice or some tasty lemonade would be a good addition too.

  176. Patti Sherman says

    March 11, 2009 at 6:49 am

    We RV all summer at a permanent site and it is a continual party. This container would be easy to store and great for those wine coolers and the beer!

  177. Carolyn G says

    March 11, 2009 at 6:42 am

    I love bloody mary’s and rum and coke!

  178. scarlette says

    March 11, 2009 at 6:02 am

    I have to admit I am a beer girl!

  179. Ali says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:49 am

    Red Stripe!
    hooray beer!

  180. amir says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:41 am

    Gotta fill it w/ beer.

  181. Blessed says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:34 am

    If there was soda it would only be the bottled kind, I also like any of the sparkling juices, any fruit juice (and 7-up to mix with them), iced tea (homebrewed please) – sweet and unsweet, lemonade and water with fresh lemon, lime and orange slices!

  182. Sarah Z. says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:18 am

    You would find good beer in my cooler! I am a “beer snob” and would include lots of microbrews. Yum!

  183. Robin Farnsworth says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:10 am

    My favorite drinks are Diet Pepsi and sweet tea

  184. Diana Wood says

    March 11, 2009 at 5:07 am

    There’s nothing like an ice cold Fat Tire Beer after working on the yard. We also go through lots of iced tea, Dr. Pepper, Cream Soda and Root Beer. I’m trying to get healthier, tho, so I plan on making more fruit slushies this year (would be perfect in the Thermos)!

  185. debbie c says

    March 11, 2009 at 4:52 am

    My favorite drink is Fuse the pina colada flavor. It is so refreshing and good.

  186. Linda Fish says

    March 11, 2009 at 4:27 am

    bottles of wine

  187. Lynn H says

    March 11, 2009 at 3:23 am

    Would love to win this for the summer pool parties!

  188. Susanne ODonnell says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:58 am

    Just for you, I would make home-made light lemonaid (with a dropper twist of cherry added) and put it into mason jars with tight lids to chill. For me, I would delight in unsweetend home-made IcedTea, again, in small mason jars, chilled on ice. Enjoy!

  189. Jean F says

    March 11, 2009 at 2:52 am

    It would be water or diet Coke.

  190. Carol Lawrence says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:23 pm

    Sorry you don’t loke beer,but my cooler will have Miller Lite and Pepsi products.

  191. Autumn H. says

    March 10, 2009 at 10:37 pm

    MMM….I like

    #1 Diet Mt. Dew
    #2 Diet Cherry Pepsi
    #3 Seagrams Strawberry Lime Passionate Kiss!

    autumn398 (at0 yahoo.com

  192. Lindsay says

    March 10, 2009 at 10:32 pm

    I love the taste of bottled rootbeer something about the bottle adds to the flavor. I’d use this for our water, we drink tons of water (live in AZ!) and love them ice cold

  193. Rebecca Graham says

    March 10, 2009 at 10:11 pm

    I would like Diet Pepsi’s in the cooler for me and Diet Coke’s for hubby.

  194. allan says

    March 10, 2009 at 9:49 pm

    i love it

  195. shannon Baas says

    March 10, 2009 at 9:02 pm

    wine coolers and soda.

  196. Stephanie V says

    March 10, 2009 at 9:00 pm

    I like diet coke, amber ales, red wine (obviously not chilled), and martinis so vodka in the cooler. Of course, haven’t partied like that since bc (before children)

  197. Kat says

    March 10, 2009 at 8:16 pm

    Sangria, hard cider and some good microbrew beer :)

  198. Erica says

    March 10, 2009 at 7:56 pm

    Other than the grapefruit juice (ummm, ew) I’m totally with you. If it’s alcohol, it’s got to be girly and fruity like Arbor Mist or a strawberry margarita or something. If it’s soda, which I rarely drink, root beer is my favorite. I haven’t had Kern’s in years, but I have always loved it and would definitely drink it if it were at a party. They’re kind of expensive, though, so I never buy them. If it’s a hot drink, my favorite is hot chocolate or hot apple cider.

  199. Heather says

    March 10, 2009 at 7:41 pm

    I am usually a water drinker… I also like lemonade, sparkling apple juice, and orange juice mixed with cranberry juice.

  200. MRS.MOMMYY says

    March 10, 2009 at 7:40 pm

    I like iced tea or lemon and water, seriously just lemon and cold water are yummy to me, and no sweet tea. i like reg root beer- like a/w or barqs, I also serve sevenup at parties- diet and regular and have cherries to add . I love diet dr. pepper but it really is a waste of money and a body and mind rotter. As far as alcoholic I love this brand of margaritas in a bottle that are yummy but too expensive and i really do ot like alcohol. flavored water is for me and beer is not allowed- it makes me want to puke from the smell.

  201. Sarah Denton says

    March 10, 2009 at 7:35 pm

    I really like the central market (HEB’s posh brand) organic italian sodas: they come in flavors like pomegranate, blood orange, prickly pear and old fashioned lemonade, They are not very fizzy old fashioned and modern all at the same time

  202. Sarah Berry says

    March 10, 2009 at 7:10 pm

    Bud Light Lime but please have cola also because after 2 I am done with the beer

  203. Stacy says

    March 10, 2009 at 7:04 pm

    This would be so great for a bbq.

  204. Karen Gonyea says

    March 10, 2009 at 6:58 pm

    Beer :)

  205. Michael says

    March 10, 2009 at 6:45 pm

    I would fill it with beer for the summer parties.

  206. It's Your Movie says

    March 10, 2009 at 6:41 pm

    I used to be a diet soda ADDICT, and it wasn’t easy, but I gave it up because of the aspartame. Now I drink water and coffee and that’s about it. Oh, and beer. I love good beer! I think it’s delicious.

    Erin

  207. Roxanne says

    March 10, 2009 at 6:22 pm

    Oh I’d love Coke, smirnoff ice, and any flavor of mike’s hard lemonade

  208. Samantha S. says

    March 10, 2009 at 6:17 pm

    My cooler would be filled with various flavors of sparkling Italian soda and frozen margaritas…

  209. c. clemens says

    March 10, 2009 at 5:23 pm

    i used to be a Pepsi girl or Dew girl, but now i just drink water

  210. McKim says

    March 10, 2009 at 5:11 pm

    My husband and son are big Mountain Dew drinkers, and my daughter Sprite so those would be in there for sure. Then I would have a few of several other kinds of soft drinks.

  211. Jan says

    March 10, 2009 at 5:07 pm

    Bicarti limon and diet coke – in the summer, limon and pink lemonade – could I use this cooler at my trailer this summer!! thank you

  212. Allen McLeod says

    March 10, 2009 at 4:59 pm

    Great, lets PARTAY.

  213. Stacy says

    March 10, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    This would be perfect for our variety of drinks we take when we go to nascar races.

  214. chris swan says

    March 10, 2009 at 3:53 pm

    Living in Fl I would go with either pina colada mix or Margaritas!

  215. Denyse says

    March 10, 2009 at 2:55 pm

    I know so many wine drinkers- I’d have to fill it w/ wine.

  216. MARK PRICE says

    March 10, 2009 at 2:45 pm

    Wow I want one of these

  217. Rebecca says

    March 10, 2009 at 2:33 pm

    Coke! I know it’s not good for me, but I don’t drink alcohol or coffee, and I don’t smoke. One a day is perfect, and anyone willing to throw a party for me would know that Coke is the first thing they should buy!!

  218. susan varney says

    March 10, 2009 at 1:53 pm

    this would be good for cold beer

  219. Pam Morse says

    March 10, 2009 at 1:37 pm

    Coke and fruit juices!

  220. Terri Pillow says

    March 10, 2009 at 1:16 pm

    diet drinks, juices and assortment of adult beverages. Thanks for the contest.

  221. desiree kelley says

    March 10, 2009 at 1:01 pm

    I love water

  222. Kim says

    March 10, 2009 at 1:01 pm

    I am with you on the beer! It is totally nasty! And the water bottles, I am with you also! I have done the cold water in a pitcher and it worked really well!

    As far as what I would drink at a party, diet pepsi, or some mock champange punch. This is non-alcholic and it awesome. I served it at my wedding reception!

  223. HilLesha says

    March 10, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    I ~love~ Cherry Coke. :)

  224. Denise says

    March 10, 2009 at 12:35 pm

    Lately I’ve been into iced tea instead of soda.

  225. Margaret Smith says

    March 10, 2009 at 12:33 pm

    Diet Ice Tea (like snapple) or Diet Root Beer and I’d be thrilled. This cooler is a wonderful idea. I love that it folds down.
    Thanks for this giveaway.

  226. Becca says

    March 10, 2009 at 12:15 pm

    I don’t think this would work in the cooler, but my latest favorite drink is lemonade make from the powdered mix and sparkling water. Love it! I’m not a big soda drinker either, in fact I swore off caffeine about four years ago. But a caffeine-free NOT diet Coke might be a fun splurge. And last, but not lease a whole bunch of Propel in the black cherry flavor.

  227. paige chandler says

    March 10, 2009 at 12:14 pm

    I love pink lemonade in the can.

  228. Christine Jensen says

    March 10, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    I am a soda drinker (wish I didn’t like it so much!) I especially like the Mandarin Lime Hansens soda. And Dr Pepper.

    I also like:
    Limeaid or Lemonade

  229. Barbara Puskas says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:56 am

    Cant get enough iced tea

  230. Lauralee Hensley says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:31 am

    I bet this would work for keeping meats/dairy cold when bringing it home from the grocery store too. My in-laws and I drive a town away to shop at the commissary and so this would be great to keep some items colder while driving back. We have about a 40 minute drive one way, thats if there’s not much traffic or any accidents on the freeway that slow you down even more.

  231. Heather says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:31 am

    Dr Pepper and lots of tap water. In the winter I like hot tea and in the summer I like sun tea.

  232. Marcia Goss says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:29 am

    Bottled water and Diet Coke.

  233. Vicky H. says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:27 am

    I’d want to have some Smirnoff and Mike’s coolers and water. Simple stuff.

  234. Kathy Hecimovich says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:26 am

    Water,Water and more water! It’s good for you!!

  235. ellen cunningham says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:26 am

    I’d fill mine with beer and maybe the fixings for some woo-woos. Thanks for the chance.

  236. Terri F says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:22 am

    Diet coke would have to be my favorite soda, but I really enjoy flavored iced teas and flavored lemonades, with raspberry being my favorite flavor to add to either.

  237. steady says

    March 10, 2009 at 11:07 am

    I’d have it in the car to put the ice in right after picking it up from the store–then the beer and pop goes in!

  238. Jaque says

    March 10, 2009 at 10:53 am

    If you had a party and wanted to stock a cooler to fit my likes, it would need to contain Club Soda. My favorite carbonated drink, with a twist of lemon or lime, of course! Water is actually my favorite drink….I know, I’m boring. :-(

    Thank you. :-)

  239. Jana says

    March 10, 2009 at 10:10 am

    If it’s hot outside, white wine would be good, especially a savignon blanc. I also like sugar-free lemonade (virgin or with vodka for an added kick).

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  240. Sue says

    March 10, 2009 at 9:52 am

    I love Diet Coke, my kids love root beer and we always have water. thanks for sharing!

  242. Sara says

    March 10, 2009 at 9:05 am

    Sorry MM but I love diet coke, and a cold beer on a hot summer day!!

  243. Madeline says

    March 10, 2009 at 9:02 am

    I must admit, I am hooked on coke. But, I’m trying to get out of the habit. I also love lemonade.

    Throw some Diet Coke in there and a few bottles of water and I’d be set!

    I love drinking beer, maragritas, and wine. I’d most likely put all three in this mammoth tub.

    I AM a beer drinker. I like to try new ones, so there would be a mix. The Arbor Mist minis are so cute. Never seen them, but looks like somethinhg else I’d enjoy.

    I’m not a big soda drinker either but bottled Root Beer is my favorite too! And funny enough, Becky just above this comment mentioned another favorite soda of mine when I do drink it. Antarctica Gaurana. My husband livedi n Brazil for two years so he introduced me to the drink.

    I also love Grapfruit juice. Other drinks I enjoy are Cranberry juice and guava juice.

    I’m so with you on beer. Well it’s a religious belief of mine not to drink beer, alcohol, tea or coffee so I’ve never had any of it. But beer smells so putrid!

    well for me it would be Lipton’s diet green tea, hubby is a beer drinker, I don’t drink any alcoholic beverages since a closed head injury left me with vertigo, that’s a good story and if you ever run a contest with the weirdest way you found out you were pregnant I’ll share it, the kids like sparkling water

    Though I try to drink less soda these days, it’s still my pick of choice for a special drink. We prefer root beer (IBC bottled is great!), and a sometimes hard-to-find Brazilian soda called Guarana (pronounced gwah-dah-nah, if you talk to Brazilians!), which has sort of a fruity cream-soda flavor. We also like to spring for juice combinations, especially including cranberry, and sometimes sparkling apple/grape/grapefruit juices.

    I’m a water person too. When my husband and I have a small party we like to buy the orange and root beer sodas that come in old fashioned looking bottles. Everyone seems to enjoy them.

    Also, I agree about the beer (yuck) but I do like Mike’s Hard Lemonade (& other flavors) or a glass of wine.

    I used to drink a can or two of Dr. Pepper a day but I gave it up when I got pregnant. Now just about the only thing I drink is water and cold green tea.

    I love coke or sprite! I try not keep them in the house but use them as a special treat for myself when I go out! I also very much dislike the taste of beer so a nice glass of red wine would be nice. Beer for my husband and water for my daughter… she will have nothing other than water… now why can’t I crave water like her!

    In my honor, a nice wine cooler, preferably peach-flavored, sodas for the kids, and a nice beer for hubby.

    My family drinks a variety-Sprite, Pepsi, white wine and light beer. We have a deck that this would be PERFECT for!!

    I mostly like dark beer in bottles, diet uncola and white wine….this container would be great for parties on the deck

    I like sparkling water with a bit of lime or lemon in it. I also LOVE root beer, but rarely drink it. When I do, I water it down. I have a weakness for Shirley Temples, too. They’re the ultimate special occasion drink!

    I make a mean non alcoholic strawberry slush that needs to be kept in a cooler for a BBQ. Then again if you want something really different I could make up a batch of Blueberry Rushes. I love the cooler!
    Thanks so much for the giveaway.
