Stocking Up For the Fourth of July

Before fireworks illuminate the sky over your Independence Day celebration, make sure your bar and cooler are stocked with the beverages your guests love. From beers that mirror amber waves of grain to cocktails in red, white, and blue, serving a festive beverage selection starts with having the right supplies on hand. Here, Joe Canal's explores several beverage options for your bar and cooler and ways to save while stocking up for the Fourth of July.

Buy Brews for Your Big Barbecue

There's nothing like cracking open a cold one on a hot summer day. Fill your cooler with enough domestic, imported, and craft beer to please a crowd. From American amber ales to New England IPAs, you can find a wide assortment of summer beers as flavorful as they are refreshing. Shop by the 6-pack or 12-pack to build a hand-picked selection that suits a wide variety of palates, or opt for a 30-pack or keg of a specific kind you know everyone enjoys. For beer lovers who prefer that fresh-from-the-tap taste, grab a few growlers to have on hand instead of the bottles and cans. Adding non-alcoholic and gluten-free beer into the mix for guests with special dietary needs helps ensure everyone can find something they enjoy. 

Fine Wine and Spirits for the Bar

Celebrate in style with signature beverage choices. Along with the ice bucket, cups, and cocktail napkins, stock up on wine and spirits for the bar at your gathering. Treat a crowd with sangria, margaritas, wine slushies, and other pitcher cocktails, and serve bourbon, whiskey, and scotch on the rocks. If you're looking for a splash of flavor, fruity vodkas and malt beverages are sure to delight. White and rosé wines offer crisp, refreshing choices for summertime events, and they pair well with barbecued chicken, seafood skewers, and several other menu items. While perusing drink options, don't forget about the mixers, garnishes, and other bar essentials that will help make your gathering go smoothly.

Plan for Beverage Savings In Advance

Celebrating Independence Day with a large group of family and friends is easier on your budget with a few helpful shopping strategies. Many liquor stores often hold sales and special events during holidays and offer delivery options for bulk orders. Using these opportunities can help you make the most of every dollar spent and save time while setting up for the big day. Another way to save is by joining a liquor store membership, like Joe Canal's Bottle Club.

Free to join, Bottle Club works much like a grocery store membership. Members have access to extra-low pricing throughout the store and receive weekly e-mail updates on sales, coupons, new products, and special events. By using the specials and exclusive product information to your advantage, stocking up on beverages for your holiday get-together is that much easier.
