We’re in the midst of our 5th summer here in our pool-tastic beach house. The Hubs grew up with a pool in his backyard in suburban Atlanta, so he knows all about the impromptu pool parties that seem to pop up every weekend. As someone who grew up on a lake, I was definitely privy to the neighborhood gathering, but this swimming pool culture is new to me.

Don’t get me wrong, parties on the fly are totally my sweet spot. I can whip up a plate of appetizers and a few fun cocktails at the drop of a hat. Plus, as a closet homebody, I secretly love that people come to me, and I rarely have to leave the house.

With each passing summer, our pool house has taken on a new party persona. Gone are the days of vats of “party punch” and keg beer. These days we’re more about quick and easy cocktails because there’s always a lot of kids (or dogs) running around that we need to keep our eyes on. We still love to sip on something fabulous and flavorful though!

BACARDI® Mixers know all about the pool house lifestyle of Partytime, Anytime. They’ve made some awesome frozen drink mixes in flavors like Margarita, Strawberry Daiquiri and Piña Colada. All you have to do is add some BACARDI® rum and voila! You have drinks for a crowd.

Feeling inspired? You can jazz up your BACARDI® Mixers cocktails with some fresh ingredients from your garden. I added some fresh basil and jalapeño to make this zesty, and majorly refreshing green dragon cocktail.  It was the perfect accompaniment to the on-the-fly doggie pool party I hosted the other day. I’ll definitely be re-creating this one the next time my human friends stop by as well.
