Camping season has started, and as the summer approaches and campgrounds and state parks start to open, it’s time to plan your camping trips. One of the best ways to elevate your camping adventure is by enjoying some refreshing non-alcoholic drinks. Here are fifteen of the best non-alcoholic drinks for camping that you can enjoy while you’re out in nature.
What Drinks To Bring Camping?
When choosing the right non-alcoholic drinks for camping, you’ll want to focus on alcohol-free drink options that are simple to carry and keep (such as ready-to-drink cans) and require little preparation (if you’re thinking about making mocktails).
Non-alcoholic beer is an obvious non-alcoholic drink for camping, but make sure you choose cans over bottles. That way, you can crush them up once you’re done drinking and reduce your haul to the recycling bins. Here’s a pro camping tip for non-alcoholic beers: lighten your load by skipping the cooler and ice. Instead, place your beer in a stream and let the cold water chill your beer.
Other non-alcoholic drinks to bring along for camping include canned mocktails and mini non-alcoholic wines. They are small and easy to pack along for a hike or long treks. If you are car camping and want to fill up your flask with non-alcoholic liquor, then non-alcoholic spirits – like non-alcoholic gin and non-alcoholic whiskey – are fun drink options to bring along.
