The 10 Best Outdoor Drinkware Options of 2022

As you gather and assess your summer entertaining essentials, don’t forget to make sure you have a good stash of outdoor drinkware handy. Whether it’s for enjoying lemonade on the back porch, sipping a chilled glass of rosé poolside, or having enough unbreakable glassware on hand for an impromptu barbecue, investing in some dedicated outdoor drinkware will prove invaluable.

There is, of course, the functionality to consider—durability and ease of washing are paramount. But outdoor drinkware also offers the opportunity to add some color and fun to any table set up, a chance to experiment with colors and patterns you might not otherwise incorporate indoors.

From water tumblers to wine glass (plus pitchers, punch bowls, and more), here is the season's best outdoor drinkware.

Retro-inspired punch bowls are back in a big way and we’re partial to this hammered copper option which is so pretty it can easily double as a piece of décor. It comes with an accompanying ladle (necessary, of course), and while it does need to be hand-washed, it's coated with a food-grade lacquer that prevents tarnishing. We think it’s just begging for a big batch of Moscow mules, but we’ll let you decide.
