Party time! No matter what you’re serving—family-friendly fruit punch or tropical drinks of a different sort—entertaining at the height of summer all but requires a versatile cooler like this one. Easy to move, maneuver, and set into place, the TRINITY Stainless Steel Cooler delivers far more durability than something made of styrofoam, not to mention a dramatic upgrade in style. While the generously sized, insulated cooler compartment fits as many as 96 aluminum cans, the two-sided lid, bottle opener (and cap catcher), rear drain plug and handy bottom shelf all combine to make the unit worthy of a place on your deck, porch, or patio. Available at Amazon; $152.14.
