Cool off this summer with Service Ideas
July marks prime summer seasonal favorites: barbecues, bridal showers, baby showers, family reunions & birthday parties. It’s also the ideal setting for unique and refreshing beverage mixes to please young and old alike.
Whether you’re planning a fancy soiree or a simple get together, we’ve got you covered with a variety of large capacity dispensers that can keep your thirst quenched the whole duration of your event. Below is a list of some of our most popular dispensers plus some fun drink ideas to set your mixer apart from the rest of the crowd.
Our CBDP3BLK is our original Cold Beverage Dispenser. Constructed from BPA Free Polypropylene, it comes with both an infuser tube and ice tube that rest within the lid during use. This dispenser also features an arm in the base that allows it to connect multiple units together, so if you wanted to have a hydration station that allowed guests to create their own cocktail, this may be a great option for you. Use one for iced tea, one for lemonade, and one for pink lemonade to allow people to create their own Arnold Palmer drink combo. It also works great with our new Hands Free Spigot (CBDSPIGHFBL) if you’re placing it at the end of a buffet line.
Mint Tea Punch
Makes 3 Gallons
8 Regular-sized Black Tea Bags (or 1 family sized tea bag)
5-10 sprigs of mint (enough to fill the infuser tube at least halfway)
Sugar or Sweetener
1 gallon of orange juice
1 gallon of lemonade
Place the tea bags in the dispenser. Pour 1 gallon of hot water over the bags to brew. Let sit for 8-10 minutes before removing and tossing the tea bags. Add the orange juice and lemonade to the tea after it has had a chance to cool. Place mint springs in the infuser tube and add to the mixture. Add sugar/sweetener to taste, and then stir to make sure everything mixes evenly. Let it chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving, then add ice to the ice tube and place in dispenser to keep chilled.
Our Round Infuser Dispenser is constructed from BPA Free Polypropylene and features an infuser tube and a recess in the base for ice cubes or an ice pack to keep drinks chilled. The tall body leaves a small footprint (11”) to conserve on counter/table space without sacrificing the amount of liquid you can serve at any given time. This dispenser also works with our new Hands Free Spigot (CBDSPIGHFBL)
Sparkling Pine-Orange-Berry Punch
Makes 3 Gallons
1 gallon of pineapple juice
1 gallon of orange juice
3 liters of sparkling water or Sprite/Fresca/Ginger Ale
1 carton of Strawberries
In the container, mix the liquids together, and stir until they are mixed well (as they will separate). Rinse and chop the strawberries into quarters and place into the infuser tube. Attach the infuser tube to the lid of the dispenser and place in the dispenser. Allow chilling an hour before serving and place ice or ice packs in the recess in the base to keep drink chilled.
To add a kick to this punch, replace 1 of the liters of sparkling water with a bottle of Brut champagne.
Our Stainless Infuser Dispensers feature a clear BPA Free Tritan container, in addition to a stainless lid & base. These dispensers come with an infuser tube for drink customization, and work well with our new Hands Free Spigot (CBDSPIGHFBL), in addition to our new Stainless Steel Drip Trays (DT6BS).
Citrus Cucumber Spritzer
Makes 3 Gallons
2 bottles of white wine
2 liters of club soda
1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1 cucumber
In the container, mix the wine and club soda, then let sit. Next slice up the lemon, lime, orange and cucumber and layer the slices together in the infuser tube. Twist the infuser tube into the lid and place on the container. Allow it to chill for 1-2 hours before serving, and then stir before serving over ice.
Our Stainless Cold Beverage Dispenser expands upon the concept of our original Cold Beverage Dispenser. The reinforced plastic body features brushed stainless steel for the lid & base. The container is constructed from BPA Free Tritan for a clear presentation and comes with a removable infuser tube and freezable ice tube to keep your drinks chilled while serving. This dispenser is also compatible with our new Hands Free Spigot (CBDSPIGHFBL) and utilizes a wide drip tray that slides into place on the front of the base.

2 liters of Lemon-Lime Soda
2 liters of Ginger Ale
1 12 oz. bottle of grenadine
