The game
This is definitely not a game meant to be played with shots or you’ll never make it through your first round of cornhole. We suggest a Margarita party mix, or just sippin’ on your favorite beer. Then, follow these rules while hanging out with your friends and neighbors.
Take a sip every time you hear:
Beach cities like: California, Florida, Miami, Los Angeles
Water references: Lake, ocean, beach, sea, tide, pool
Activities: Roll windows down, cruise, swim, boatin’, party, dancing, surfing
Clothing: Bikini, shorts, flip-flops, tank tops
Weather: Sun, hot, heat, moon
Time: Noon, July, June, August, Midnight
Party like grown-ups >>
But, take two sips every time you hear:
Summer
Summertime
Sunshine
Have fun! And remember to drink and party responsibly. Alcohol and sun poisoning are real things.
