As parents, we all have to adhere to a routine for the most part so it fun to stir (or shake) things up a bit for happy hour. Whether you are having a few friends over, like to share a cocktail with your partner after work, or are looking to try something different, we have a tantalizing list drinks and accessories for you to try.

1. Beer Dispenser

Amazon

This beer dispenser makes any beer taste like a genuine craft beer. The Fizzics DraftPour creates Micro-Foam, which makes for intense flavor and aroma.

2. Electric Wine Bottle Opener

Amazon

Opening your favorite bottle of wine will be so much easier with this electric opener. Within seconds, you can be sipping away and avoiding getting in a fight with a cork.

3. Wine To-Go Bag

If happy hour happens to be a friend’s house and it’s BYOB, or you are simply going to sit in the backyard and hope dinner makes it self, this tote is a must-have.

4. Wine Slushie Mix

Amazon

Summer is coming and that means you will be making the kids snow cones and making you and your friends some wine slushies. Dump this mix, your favorite wine, and ice into the blender and you will keep cool.

5. Yeti Colster

AMAZON.COM

This Yeti Colster will keep your beer ice cold, it won’t sweat, and is a good way to hide your adult beverage if needed. It can also be used for sodas and other cold drinks.

6. Wine Glass Charms

WALMART.COM

We love our flip flops, but we also love it when someone doesn’t accidentally grab our glass and wrap their lips around it. These charms are fun and will keep you from swapping spit at your next soiree.

7. Stonewall Kitchen Lemon Mixer

AMAZON.COM

Mix this tangy mixer with vodka for a refreshing spring/summer drink, or add with to sparkling seltzer for a nice mocktail.

8. Bloody Mary Mixers

WALMART.COM

I love a nice Bloody Mary any time of the day. Spice your up (literally) with these zingy mixers— extra horseradish? Yes please.

9. Wine Glasses

Amazon

We are totally starting a club, this will be our only activity, and everyone gets one of these glasses. You in?

10. Beer Mug

WALMART.COM

There’s nothing like that Friday feeling and this beer mug is the perfect thing to ring in the weekend.

11. Strawberry Moscato

Amazon

No need to serve dessert during your next dinner party, this strawberry wine will do. Add some fresh berries and mint to each glass and really impress your guests.

12. Beer Flight Set

Walmart

No need to go out to have a beer tasting. With this beer flight set, you can host your own at home — just tell the neighbors to bring the snacks.

Happy hour just got more interesting. The only question is, what are you going to try first?
