Keep the margaritas flowin' and embrace the art of pool-gating.
Summer is here, the World Cup is on the screen, and the water is perfectly chilled. It’s the ideal setup for an afternoon of "pool-gating", the backyard host's ultimate summer pastime. When you're floating in the deep end, the last thing you want to do is dry off to play bartender for your guests.
Our friend Rod Herrenbruck (@tailgatingwithrod) is back for another round of The Friday Fill to solve this common summer hosting dilemma. His easy, extra-large batch margarita recipe guaranteed to level up the occasion. No pool? No problem. High-volume, low-stress, it's just the kind of recipe you want whether it's a massive poolside watch party, or it's a 5 o'clock feeling that hits at 3:30.
The 3-Ingredient Pool-Gating Margarita
An extremely easy, high-volume batch cocktail.
Ingredients:
- 12 oz Blanco Tequila
- 6 oz Lime Juice
- A touch of Blue Agave Nectar (to taste)
- Lime wedges and salt for the rim
Instructions:
- Build the Batch: Measure the tequila and lime juice directly into a Highball Shaker™ using the included XL UpScale Jigger™. Add a quick squeeze of agave nectar.
- The Shake: Secure the threaded lid and give the shaker a couple of quick, one-handed shakes to mix the ingredients perfectly.
- The Rim: Run a lime wedge around the edge of your tumblers, dip them in salt, and drop the lime wedge right in.
- The Pour: Add ice to the tumblers, pour the margarita directly from the shaker, and enjoy the game!
Rod’s Tailgate Pro Tip: You don't even have to get out of the pool! Mixing a massive batch in an extra-large shaker means having enough margaritas to last all afternoon without ever having to leave the water or abandon your guests.
The Gear: Shatterproof Poolside Perfection
When it comes to enjoying drinks by the pool, glass is the only party foul. Ditching the breakable glassware is essential, which is exactly why Rod relies on the Highball Shaker™ and the Firelight Tumblers for his pool gating setup. It offers a bar-quality drinking experience that can be brought safely to the cool clear waters of the backyard pool.
Why you should use our Fortified Barware at the pool.
- Shatterproof Design: The premium stainless steel tumblers won't break if dropped on the patio, keeping the pool deck completely safe.
- Massive Capacity: The 1-liter capacity shaker provides the volume to mix a massive batch at once, ending the one-by-one cocktail grind.
- No-Sweat Insulation: You can leave the second round sitting safely in the shaker thanks to the double-wall vacuum insulation. Even in the hot sun, the shaker won't sweat and it'll keep your drink chilled for hours.
- Pure Flavor: The all of our products are built from premium, electropolished stainless steel that won't taint the flavor of your drink. Plus, they're easy to clean with a simple rinse.
