When picturing that ideal spring day, a few things come to mind immediately. Perhaps that just-warm-enough sun providing you with endorphins and a nice tan without frying your skin red is the first thing that you imagine. Maybe it is a checkered picnic blanket, a basket full of cold cuts and cheese, and the shade of an oak tree with your significant other that indicates you have hit the perfect time of year.

When we think of the perfect spring afternoon, it is not complete without a cool, refreshing adult beverage. Whether at the neighborhood bar-b-que, a Florida beach, or your own personal getaway spot, having a batch of your favorite springtime drink makes any occasion a better one.

So, if you don’t already have a go-to spring or summer adult concoction, we have thought of some can’t-miss drinks to accompany your ideal spring day.

First step: get a copper mug. As we have made clear, these mugs will keep your cold drink as frosty as is humanly possible, for as long as humanly possible. We’re not fibbing, it’s science. The superior temperature conductivity of copper is no lie, so get your mug(s) before deciding upon your drink of choice.

Keep in mind that each drink, regardless of the glass it is prepared in, can be poured into a copper mug after mixing for optimal effect.

If you're out in the garden or enjoying spring sports, you might worry about damaging your copper mug. You might want alternative drinkware. Silipint offers great unbreakable drinkable to help you confidently enjoy your drink anywhere.
