Hot Tub Summer Drinks: Lay-Z-Spa Mocktails
Hot Tub Summer Drinks: Lay-Z-Spa Mocktails
With the sunshine allowing us to enjoy our outdoor spaces, relaxing in the garden and spending more time in the hot tub, we long for the taste of the exotic with a cocktail in hand to feel like we are on holiday.
We have created a selection of easy-to-make Lay-Z-Spa mocktails that are quick and require few easy-to-get-hold-of ingredients. Why mocktails? Because we want the whole family to be able to enjoy these and your little ones can have fun helping to make them. The other reason is that we do not recommend drinking alcohol in the hot tub. Alcohol effects are intensified in a hot tub which can lead to dehydration, feeling light-headed or heat exhaustion. So, it's mocktails all round!
These delicious alcohol-free cocktail recipes go perfectly with our range of glasses that are safe to use in the hot tub. Made of ultra-clear polycarbonate, the Lay-Z-Spa glasses give you peace of mind that they will never shatter and therefore won't cause damage to the liner of your hot tub. This also means they are safe for children to use.
