I remember something about freezing them in a 1/2 gallon or gallon jug over nite, and that they would be nice and chilly for the beach.

We made rum punch the night before in a half-gallon jug and froze it.

Some of the girls coming this time are talking about slipping a few booze buckets into their luggage, which isn't the worst idea I've ever heard!

We also mixed and froze our cocktails the night before in the jugs of juice we emptied out (we left the rest in pitchers in the villa). It worked perfect stuck in the cooler for the beach. Some days we didn't put it in the cooler and just drank faster! Whatever works!

We pick up a few tall bottles of water at Starfish. They work great for premixed rum drinks - make 'em up at night and store in the fridge. Ice goes into a zip-lock bag. Toss the bottle, ice, and plastic glasses in the cooler bag. Store in the shade on the beach. Best enjoyed when up to your neck in blue water.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

www.thebag2go.com These are great and they ship them to you very quickly.
The other ideas above sound great too. I found these at a cooking store in my town but have been ordering them directly from the company as gifs. The store here is always out of them.

Drink carriers? Okay, I'll carry your drink around for you, just let me know when. It's a tough job but someone had to volunteer. (Oooops, someone may get the wrong idea and think I'm flirting with you; sorry Tom. :wink: ) Ali~

What a Kool system. I had never heard if that before. That's perfect for the hot summers here in Florida. Thanks for sharing the info.

Unless my memory is failing me on a Friday afternoon, we got ours in 3-4 days. Make sure you send them a picture of you with the bags so they'll send you another liner.

Wontongirl -

Thanks for the tip on the bag 2 go - I ordered one and have the distinction of being the first cutomer from Wisconsin according to my reply email!!

Looking forward to using it - probably with hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps for now!!

Haven't been in her forever....& the 1st thread I read when I get back is this amazing one about "The Bag 2 Go"!! I can't wait to order me a few of those. New up-coming son-n-law is over there in Iraq for a month now. so that would be perfect to send him!
Thanks!!
