Beat the Heatwave: 6 Secret Drinkware Tricks

On the most scorching summer days, finding clever ways to keep your cool becomes second nature - and nothing beats a long, refreshing sip of an icy-cold drink to turn down the heat and revitalize your senses.

But what if you’re set to spend the day outside in the blazing sun, hopping between hot cars, or taking your drinks on the go without the cool embrace of air conditioning?

Naturally, these sizzling hot days are when icy, refreshing drinks are most essential - but sometimes the sweltering summer sun has other ideas… Even if you're using the best insulated drinkware around!


Luckily, there’s some insider secrets you can use to prolong the chill of your frosty drinks, and boost the cooling capacity of your thermal tumbler, bottle, or cup - no matter how high the mercury rises.


Check out these 6 genius ways to enjoy the coolest drinks from your insulated Greens Steel drinkware this summer, and beat the heat better than ever before.

Summer Hack #1

Prime Your Vessel for Coldness

Let’s kick things off with a simple trick that guarantees your drinkware's powerful cooling insulation goes the distance, even on summer’s most unforgiving days.

The secret lies in the air pocket trapped between the double wall insulation. But here's the catch: if the air pocket inside your drink vessel is already warm, it can quickly heat up your beverage, making it lose its chill.

To prevent this, you can prime your vessel with icy coolness before adding your chilled drink!
 

Here's how it works:
 

Fill your bottle or tumbler with iced water and let it sit for a few minutes. This cools down the air pocket between the insulation, creating an optimal environment for keeping your drink cold. Then, empty out the water and fill your vessel with your cool drink of choice.

SUMMER HACK #2

SEEK OUT THAT SHADE

Spending a lot of time in the sun, but want your drinks to stay cool as a cucumber? Stashing your insulated water bottle or tumbler in the shade as much as possible makes a world of difference!

The blazing rays of the sun can heat up the outside of your tumbler quickly, making your vacuum insulation fight a losing battle against the extreme elements.

Summer Hack #3

Don't Let a Dent Ruin Your Drink

Worried your drinks aren’t staying as cold as they should? Be sure to check the outside of your insulated drinkware for any damage that could potentially be affecting its performance!


While smaller bumps or dings won't be a problem, there's a chance that very deep dents (from heavy impact or crushing) might have created a gap in your bottle's inner vacuum seal that keeps your drinks cold.


If the two walls hidden inside your cup are touching, this can allow heat to transfer from the outside, making your drink get warm faster - especially if you're in a hot environment.

To prevent dents that could sabotage your insulated drinkware's cooling powers, avoid dropping your bottle or banging it against hard surfaces.

SUMMER HACK #4

LIGHTEN UP YOUR VIBE

Did you know the color of your drinkware can actually make a difference in how well it keeps your drinks cold? Dark-colored drinkware absorbs more heat from the sun, which can make your drinks warmer faster in direct sunshine.

Light-colored cups, on the other hand, reflect heat, which can help to keep your drinks colder.


LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 
 

To keep your drinks super cold all summer long, opt for light-colored insulated drinkware like the Greens Steel BEAST Tumbler in summer-ready shades of Arctic White, Lemon, or Aqua Blue. Grab yours below!

Summer Hack #5

More Ice, Please!

It goes without saying that the more ice you use, the colder your drink will stay. So, if you're looking to keep your drinks frosty for as long as possible, top up your Greens Steel bottle or tumbler with plenty of ice.

You should also chill your drinks well before pouring them into your insulated drinkware. This will help to lower the overall temperature of the drink, which will help it to stay colder for longer.

SUMMER HACK #6

DON'T LOSE YOUR COOL


When it's hot out, you'll want to safeguard your chilled drinks with one final, simple measure - Remembering to close the lid of your insulated drinkware without delay!

SIP SWIFTLY IN SUMMER
 

When you take a sip of your drink, heat from the surrounding air sneaks into your bottle or tumbler.


To prevent this from speeding up temperature loss, be sure to replace the lid or close your sip spout promptly after each sip to ensure your drink stays colder for longer!
