Tropical Cooler Recipe

Before we jump into the recipe, let’s talk about what you’ll need to bring this tropical oasis to life. Here's the list of ingredients:

Vista Bay Coconut Mango Hard Seltzer (grab a six-pack for good measure)
Season’s Choice Frozen Mixed Fruit (think strawberry, pineapple, peach, mango—basically all the tropical goodness)
Nature’s Nectar Guava Mango Juice Drink (this adds a sweet tropical twist)

Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty of how to make this refreshing drink. It's super simple, I promise!

First, grab a large pitcher and toss in about 1.5 cups of the thawed fruit mixture. If the fruit chunks are on the larger side, chop them up a bit so they mix better.
Next, pour in half a cup of that delicious guava mango juice drink. This is where the tropical magic starts to happen!
Then, pop in one can of the Vista Bay Coconut Mango Hard Seltzer. Give everything a good stir to combine all the flavors.
Finally, pour your masterpiece into rocks glasses filled with ice. Voila! You've got yourself a Tropical Cooler that'll make you feel like you're sipping on the beach.

* Serve in a rocks glass
