Amazon purchases at the pool are generally a bad life choice, but there are exceptions.
Last week we saw a guy with a flamingo beverage floatie at the pool. It was so campy that we had to buy some (because, adulting.) A quick Amazon search revealed that flamingo floaties are only $15 for a dozen, so the purchase was a no-brainer.

No one needs a flock of flamingo pool floaties.
Except us.
A 12-pack of pool floaties seemed excessive, but we’ve given many away to neighbors and the dogs have already destroyed a few. I think we might order a second 12-pack before the summer is over.

Flamingo cocktail recipe
The drink that I made to celebrate our (rapidly dwindling) flock of flamingo floaties is called “The Flamingo.” Because I am creative.
Here is what’s inside:
- Ole Smoky moonshine
- Fresh lime juice (squeezed)
- Fresh peach juice (squeezed)
- Topo Chico mineral water
- Dasani strawberry-kiwi drops
The level of each ingredient varies depending your individual taste level. I recommend starting off with low amounts of moonshine and the Dasani flavor drops and adding more after tasting.
