How to Keep Drinks Cool at a Party

There’s a certain trick to getting the best performance when you’re using a Pelican party cooler. So don’t miss the trick! Follow these rules so that you’ll know how to keep drinks cool at a party every time:
  1. Pre-chill your cooler every time you are going to use it. Bring it out of storage and into your house 12–24 hours before the party and fill it with 10–20 pounds of ice (depending on the size). When you’re ready to pack your cooler, empty out any water from melted ice before you start.
  2. Make sure you use the 2:1 ratio of ice to goods in your party cooler. No one wants a warm drink, and twice as much ice means your drinks will stay frosty cold until well after the party ends.
  3. Always pack your cooler cold! Don’t toss in room temp drinks and expect the ice in the cooler to chill them and stay frozen. Start refrigerating your drinks when you start pre-chilling your cooler. Plus, packing cold drinks in your cooler means that your drinks will be refreshingly cold from the beginning of your party.

Party On, Party People!

Now you know that the Dayventure Sling Soft Cooler or a Pelican wheeled cooler or one of the core Elite Coolers is the perfect party cooler you’re looking for. You even know how to keep drinks cool at your party in your Pelican cooler. And you’ve got the ultimate Bluetooth party speaker charged and ready to play your favorite tunes. So it’s time to start the party. Where is everybody at?
