7 Refreshing Low-Cal Cocktails to Sip on the Patio

Hey there! How are you all doing? I hope everyone is safe and well during this extraordinary moment. With all of us spending so much time at home, who spends more time on the back patio or hanging out on the driveway? I have to go outside with the kids several times a day to get a breather and let them burn off some energy. Taking glasses outside makes me nervous, so I was pleased to see this Corkcicle glass with a lid and this Vinglace wine chiller on sale at Nordstrom for 40% off. It keeps your favorite low-calorie cocktail recipes cool while safeguarding the glass container.

This leopard Corkcicle canteen is an excellent water bottle or non-glass container for your wine. Do not forget the snacks! I swear lunch has turned into a snack buffet. Nordstrom has the best small dishes for nibbles and late-night goodies. They’re the ideal size for fruit, cereal, or ice cream. My children adore them and have already claimed them as their personal bowls.
