🍉 5 Unexpected Summer Party Hacks That Actually Work

Because good drinks and great vibes deserve clever shortcuts.

At Frame & Flask, we’ve been to a lot of events — and while we take our drinks and photos seriously, we also love a good party trick. Here are five offbeat summer hacks we swear by to keep the fun flowing and the stress low at any gathering.

1. 🧊 Freeze Your Garnishes

Want your drinks to look fancy and stay cold? Freeze sliced citrus, berries, or mint in ice cube trays with a splash of lemon juice or water. They’re pretty, practical, and perfect for sprucing up any cocktail or mocktail.

2. 🍾 Use a Kiddie Pool as a Cooler

Yep. Toss in some ice and load it with canned drinks or mini bottles. Bonus: it doubles as a foot soak station once the drinks are gone (BYO clean feet).

3. 🔥 Dryer Lint = Fire Starter

Hosting a bonfire? Save your dryer lint and stuff it into a cardboard egg carton with a bit of wax. Light it up and boom — instant campfire hero.

4. 🎶 Set the Mood with a “No Skip” Playlist

Curate a 60–90 minute playlist of bangers and slow-burners — no skip button allowed. Trust us, when the vibe’s right, nobody touches the aux.

5. 📸 Disposable Cameras for Guests

Scatter a few old-school film cameras around and let your guests snap away. It’s chaotic, hilarious, and always delivers a few hidden gems you didn’t expect.
