Settle into BC summer vibes and be prepared for any event that comes your way. Here’s a selection of ready-to-drink beverages, perfect to pop into a cooler for an impromptu picnic or patio party. Simply add ice or a dash of soda where desired and you’ll be ready to just chill. Need to chill-out fast? Here are some cool tips: • If you are in a rush to chill that bottle of wine before an event, wrap a couple of sheets of damp paper towel around it and pop it in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes. Or add ice cubes, water and salt to an ice bucket to chill in just 10 to 15 minutes. • If you made last-minute plans and need to make ice fast for cocktails, use hot or boiling water in metal or silicone moulds. The hot water freezes 20 to 30 percent faster than cold water.
