Get Ready-Made Cocktails Delivered to Your Door for Any Summer Occasion

Summer gatherings come with a million details to consider, from guest lists to playlists, outfits to menu planning. But when it comes to drinks, there’s a simple solution that takes the stress out of entertaining: delivery. This season, skip the bottle shop run and get the perfect drinks sent directly to you. Whether you’re planning a breezy picnic on the beach, a sizzling barbie at home, or an elegant evening soiree, we’ve curated the ultimate drinks guide to level up your summer social calendar.

Cooling cans for beach picnics

When it comes to seaside refreshments, less is more – making canned drinks the ultimate beach companion. They’re lightweight, (virtually) unbreakable and recyclable, offering maximum enjoyment with minimal fuss.

For something sessionable, try Moon Dog’s Summer Pash Fizzer, an alcoholic passionfruit juice with all the sweetness of a first kiss. Another crowd-pleaser is -196, the zero-sugar canned vodka sodas from Suntory. The Double Peach flavour is light and refreshing – perfect for long, salty days at the beach.

To complement the fruit-forward flavours of your canned drinks, lean into the season’s bounty with a fruit platter of summer’s best picks. Think peaches wrapped in prosciutto, dried apricots stuffed with goat’s cheese, or grilled pound cake dressed with cream and passionfruit puree.

Laid-back bevs at backyard barbeques

Snags and cola are a match made in heaven, channelling the relaxed spirit of Aussie summer. Assuming sausages are on your grill rotation, Bundaberg’s Rum & Zero Sugar Cola cans are a welcome addition to your backyard barbeque. The sweet, herby flavours of this classic mixed drink pair well with grilled corn – just give it a slick of butter and you’re good to go.

If you want to elevate your spread, Billson’s Strawberry Watermelon Double Vodka cans are a great start. Rather than serving them in the cans, pour them into glasses and garnish with a spear of watermelon and a sprig of mint. You’ve instantly got yourself an impressive cocktail without the effort of mixing each drink from scratch. To complement the drinks and rich barbequed meats, round out your spread with a watermelon, mint and feta salad that echoes the Billson’s flavour profile.

Elegant sips for evening soirees

As the sun dips, transport yourself to far-flung destinations with a summery spirit – no advanced bartending skills required.

1800 Coconut Tequila is a tropical agave spirit that tastes like an island getaway. For a simple, playful spin on a pina colada, just pour it into a glass with pineapple juice and a splash of soda. This tequila also makes a great highball alongside ginger ale and a squeeze of lime. To continue the Latin Caribbean vibe, serve guacamole, mango salsa or ceviche with assorted chips and crudités.

Or grab a bottle of Cinzano Rosso Vermouth and pretend you’re on the coast of Italy or Spain. The fortified wine can be sipped on the rocks with a slice of orange or transformed into a spritz with sparkling wine and soda water. Naturally, savoury bites like tinned or pickled seafood, olives, croquetas or cured meats and cheeses would suit the Mediterranean nature of the drink.
