A large capacity rolling cooler is ideal when you need to serve a lot of thirsty mouths. (Clevr/)

Hosting a gathering of family or friends outdoors usually requires a large supply of cold beverages. For those who prefer to entertain in style, a rolling patio-style cooler is the perfect way to keep your guests’ thirst quenched at any outdoor event. Here are a few features to consider.

Dual Lids

Dual lid coolers make it easy to separate and organize beverages. (Clevr/)

A dual lid keeps beverages separate and organized so guests don't have to take an ice bath to find what they want. An integrated bottle opener with a catch bin is a convenient touch that will also keep the party space tidy during large self-serve gatherings.

Rustic Accents

Try to find a cooler that compliments your patio or deck. (Backyard Expressions/)

Serving outdoors doesn't always have to mean plastic coolers and paper plates. A furniture-grade rolling cooler with all the refrigeration capabilities of a standard cooler adds a bit of aesthetic accent to any outdoor entertaining space.

Butler Cart

A rolling outdoor cooler also serves as a butler cart. Stash napkins, cups, plates, mixers, and extra drinks below, and never run out when the party really gets going. Locking casters are a good feature on anything that rolls.
