There is nothing quite like this time of year in Seattle. From exploring the outdoors to last-minute drinks at home or spending an afternoon at an art gallery, summer here offers something for everyone.
Whatever you’re looking forward to this season, having the right drink on hand makes every moment feel a little more special. On The Rocks™ has every summer occasion covered with bar-quality cocktails at home – whether you’re in the mood for a timeless classic or a bold, zesty twist on a favorite. We’ve curated a guide to Seattle’s most iconic summer moments, each perfectly paired with an On The Rocks™ cocktail.
Host post-Pickleball tournament drinks at home
The Picklr is a new indoor Pickleball club in Fremont and is set to be a hot spot to visit this summer! Gather a team and host your own tournament, followed by drinks to celebrate (or commiserate) at home afterwards over a canned On The Rocks™ Mojito – an easy drink to lean on for a carefree afternoon!
Spend some time in nature at The Grand Forest
There’s nothing quite like spending time in The Grand Forest during the warmer months. Whether you’re hiking or birdwatching, it’s an ideal spot to relax and immerse yourself in nature. We recommend keeping a pack of On The Rocks™ Tropical Variety cans stocked at home, so you can bring your picnic crew back to yours after to keep the vibes going over a few drinks.
Host a seafood dinner at home
There’s something about hosting a dinner party on a warm evening that always guarantees a good vibe. Pick up some supplies from Pike Place Market and serve dinner alongside On The Rocks™ Classic Marg – which pairs very nicely with fresh seafood.
Take a ride on a hot tub and sauna boat
This feels a bit like one of those “only-in-Seattle” activities – did you know you can hire a hot tub and sauna boat to ride around Lake Union in? We think this is the perfect way to feel like you’re on a vacation in your own city. Afterwards, host a debrief of the evening at yours over an On The Rocks™ Lemon Drop – a citrus-y drink that pairs nicely with those warm Seattle evenings.
Hit up Summers at Seattle Art Museum
Summer tip! There are free events at Seattle Art Museum (SAM) every Sunday afternoon and Thursday evening. With art, live music, food trucks, and plenty of local character, it’s a standout spot to spend time outside and tap into the city’s culture. Afterwards, keep those vacay vibes going at home with a can of On The Rocks™ Pina Colada – after all, nothing quite screams holiday like a Pina Colada!
Host pre-drinks for a comedy show
Pike Place Market plays host to one of Seattle’s longest-running improv theaters. Unexpected Productions has a range of shows on different nights and is a great place to spend a night. You can get the night started by hosting some friends for drinks at home before you head over – we recommend an On The Rocks™ Cosmopolitan for that great pre-show energy.
Zen out with Yoga in the Park
Summer can be crazy and non-stop, so we love taking some time out to catch our breath. This summer series of movement and music at Gas Works and Woodland Park is the perfect way to relax and practice different types of movement. If you’re going with a friend, why not keep the relaxed vibes going at home afterwards with an On The Rocks™ Watermelon Margarita.
