Ready For Pool-Drink Season?

One of the only reasons we had a pool built in our backyard was to have a change of scenery while we drink.

And to swim naked without having whistles blown by a lifeguard for “scaring the children.”

So every year we seek out new cocktail recipes, new spirits and, of course, new ways to save time. Enter YUMIX cocktails to save the day on all fronts.

These clever little bottles of booze actually have an interactive component that may not be obvious at first glance. Simply twist off the bottom to reveal 50ml of vodka or tequila. Then twist off the top, pour in the hooch and shake, shake, shake.

Boom. You have a cocktail worthy of tiny Tom Cruise right in your hand.

Plus, the Sea Breeze, margarita and orange-mango cocktails clock in at a mere 25 to 35 calories per bottle with only six to eight grams of sugar thanks to a mixture of the pure cane stuff, plus fruit juices and Stevia.

Surprisingly, it doesn’t have that cloying fake-sweetener aftertaste, either. Especially if you add a twist of fresh lemon or lime to the final concoction. Our favorite flavor, of course, is the margarita. (True Texas Boy alert!)

They’re available at Total Wine & More, so stock up before your next pool party, picnic or early morning jury duty session.

Anywhere you want to take your bottoms off.
