Having an Edgestar beverage cooler in your home keeps your fridge free from clutter. But what kind of beverages are good to keep in one for when friends come around? In this article we will look at a few different beverages and the reason why you should always try and have them on hand for when friends come over.

1. Beer - The majority of guys on this planet like (or even love beer) - having a few lagers on hand will always be appreciated. A nice mix of beer is also a good combination, as some people prefer dark beers or pale ales as opposed to lager style. It is also good to have a few 'low alcohol' or 'alcohol free' beers on hand in case your have a friend who may be driving.

2. Wine - Wine is great. Having a few bottles of white in the fridge is always a good idea. Steer away from wooded chardonnays and anything to specific. Sauvignon Blanc and pinot gris are always the way to go with whites if you want to cater for a group of people. When deciding on Reds - a cab shiraz or merlot blend is always a good option. Again - nothing too boutique. If you have friends who are red drinkers a bottle of shiraz is always appreciated. Rose is another red, which is coming into fashion now - especially in the summer months.

3. Juice - great for the kids and the non drinkers - but you can also use juice as mixers for cocktails and mixed drinks - a few juices that are great for cocktails to have on hand are pineapple, orange, cranberry as well as some freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice.

4. Sodas - Again these are great if you are not an alcohol drinker but these also are good for mixing with liquor. Have some soda water and tonic on hand as well as the normal coca cola/ pepsi and sprite. Even mixing a non-alcoholic cocktail of sprite and OJ is not only refreshing but it is also half healthy as well.

5. Water - having some sparkling and still mineral water in your fridge is a great way to keep healthy and rehydrate after a big night around the BBQ entertaining your friends.

Keeping a mix of these drinks in your edgestar beverage cooler is a great way to make sure that you cater for everyone. If you are looking primarily keep wine then there are a few fridges in the edgestar beverage cooler range that have dual compartments that are good for keeping both white and red. But it is always a good idea not to get caught out and keep a wide range of drinks on hand - for those unexpected parties that you may have.
