Fourth of July parties and other red, white and blue festivities in the summer often take on a nostalgic and retro look. If you love the classic red, white and blue bunting seen on beautiful old houses, small handheld American flags and sparklers – you’ll want to chill your drinks in a vintage tin tub or retro cooler! There are many creative ways to display drinks and keep them cold.

Let guests help themselves by displaying ice cold drinks in:

  • A big steel tub in a bright red hue! Adorn it with patriotic ribbon or small flag bunting
  • An old Radio Flyer wagon chocked full of ice (bonus: it can be pulled around to serve drinks!)
  • A kiddie pool loaded with ice
  • A wheel barrel full of ice

Not only is it ok to get creative and use things from your yard and garage to set up your patriotic party – it’s trendy! Guests will love the retro feeling that takes them back to simpler times.
