Do you need to keep drinks cool? Grab a pack of balloons

Memorial Day weekend is here and summer has its unofficial start. With warm weather comes outdoor entertaining, and if you’re looking for a clever way to keep drinks cold, you might want to grab some balloons.

Frozen balloons are the easiest and simplest way to keep your drinks cool during outdoor entertaining.

Yes, of course, ice and a good old fashioned ice chest will do the trick. However, as time goes on, the ice begins to melt, leaving behind a sloshing and potentially dirty mess. Also, sticking your hand in ice cold water is no fun, regardless of how badly you want that beer.

Balloons are the answer.

You will fill the balloons with water, making sure to vary the sizes to fit better between the spaces. Then, place them in a bucket or other container and place them in the freezer. Let them sit until completely frozen.

When they are solid, pour them into the container of your choice with your drinks. Now, you have a mess-proof way to keep your drinks cool in the heat of summer. Also, when they melt, there is a chance of a water balloon fight.

Whether you’re planning a Memorial Day cookout or know you’ll be hosting this year’s 4th of July, water balloons may be the best kept secret in summer entertainment.
