The Best Way to Ice Drinks in a Cooler
Summer might be wrapping up but we still have time left for a few more BBQ’s! The Art of Manliness shows off The Best Way to Ice Drinks in a Cooler in an easy to read infographic. Store your beverages correctly and don’t let your fun be spoiled by hot drinks or cold hands!
If you’re having a BBQ this summer, you’ll probably ensure your guests’ thirst stays slaked by stocking a big cooler full of soda and beer. While there’s obviously not much to that, there are in fact less and more effective ways of making sure these drinks are cold and accessible.
The less effective way is to place the bottles and cans atop a big mound of ice. They won’t get thoroughly chilled that way. You also don’t want to bury them in the ice; people’s hands will get cold and cut up when they try to dig through the pile to grab a drink.
The more effective method is to fill the cooler with a 80/20 mixture of ice and water. Then put the bottles/cans in so that the body of the vessels sits in the ice, but their tops/necks stick out; this lets your guests grab the drinks without getting their hands wet, cold, and nicked.
What a great use of a simple, easy-to-understand, visual explanation infographic! Definitely falls within my 5-Second Rule! You can understand the key message of the infographic within the first 5 seconds.
