Hi! It's Birdie. The Vibe Setter. And I have opinions about what you should be drinking on the golf course — and extremely strong opinions about how you should be carrying it. Pull up a cart. Let's talk beverages.
Golf and great drinks have gone together since the sport was invented. I don't make the rules. Actually, I think I might make some of the rules. Let me check with Windy — she usually has thoughts on who makes the rules. Anyway.
The point is: four hours on a golf course is four hours of your life. You're going to be outside. You're going to be walking (or riding, no judgment). You're going to hit some great shots and some shots you'd like to immediately forget. The right drink makes the great shots feel like celebrations and the bad shots feel like a story you'll laugh about later.
Here are my picks — and the perfect Bad Bunzy vessel for each one.
The Drinks
A Good Rosé — In the Bubbly
I know, I know — wine on the course sounds bougie. It is bougie. That's the point. A chilled rosé in the Bad Bunzy Bubbly (which holds an entire bottle and aerates as it pours) is the pinnacle of course refreshment. It stays cold. It tastes perfect. And when you pour it at the 9th hole, everyone in a quarter-mile radius is asking where you got that vessel. You're welcome.

Your Favorite Beer — In the Brew & Boogie
Golf and beer. The original pairing. Whether it's a cold IPA, a light lager, or whatever's on draft at the turn, your beer deserves better than melting in a plain koozie. The Bad Bunzy Brew & Boogie fits standard cans, skinny cans, and bottles — and has a built-in Bluetooth speaker. So your beer is cold and your playlist is bumping. That's called efficiency.

A Good Spirit — In the Boozy
This one is for the birdies. Literally. The Bad Bunzy Boozy is a 20 oz insulated flask with four hidden 2 oz shot cups in the removable base. When someone in your group makes a birdie — or an eagle, or a hole-in-one — you unscrew the base, distribute the cups, and pour. This is the product that makes the tradition. Nobody forgets the round where someone pulled out shot cups from their flask. Nobody.

Water — Lots of It — In the Blaster
Don't roll your eyes. Hydration is how you play 18 holes instead of 14. Especially in South Florida where the sun is not playing around. The Bad Bunzy Blaster holds 28 oz of ice water and keeps it cold for hours. It also plays music. So you can stay hydrated and entertained simultaneously. Hydration doesn't have to be boring when your water bottle has a Bluetooth speaker built into it.

The right drink on the right hole at the right moment is one of the great small pleasures of golf. Don't waste it on a warm can and a flimsy cup.

Birdie's Golden Rules of Course Beverages
Rules of the Round (Drinks Edition)
- Cold drinks stay cold. This means insulated vessels. Not a styrofoam cup from the cart girl. Not a can you've been holding in your hand for twenty minutes. Insulated. Always.
- Birdie = shots. This is not optional. This is golf law. If someone in your group makes a birdie and there are no shot cups, you have failed as a group. Get the Boozy. Problem solved.
- Never share a straw. This has nothing to do with golf. It's just good sense.
- The turn is a ceremony. The 9th hole turn is the halfway point of your round and should be treated with respect. This means a proper beverage refresh, not a sad bottle of warm water from a bag pocket.
- Music and beverages pair together. If you have the Blaster or the Brew & Boogie, use the Bluetooth. A round with music and cold drinks is a round worth remembering.
- Drink enough water. You can have the rosé AND the water. This is a judgment-free zone. But drink the water.
The Non-Alcoholic Alternatives
Not everyone drinks alcohol on the course, and that's 100% fine. Here are the best non-alcoholic options, all of which taste significantly better cold:
Sparkling Water or Electrolyte Drinks
A good sparkling water with a slice of lemon is genuinely refreshing on the course. Electrolyte drinks like Liquid IV or similar kept in the Blaster are incredible for hot weather rounds. Your game actually gets better when you're properly hydrated — that's not a lifestyle tip, that's just biology.

Iced Coffee or Cold Brew
Early morning tee times demand cold brew. Full stop. Keep it in an insulated tumbler, stay alert on the front nine, and thank yourself around the 11th hole when everyone else is flagging and you're still making clean contact.
