There’s something special about a day on the golf course. Whether you're playing a quick nine holes after work, competing in a charity scramble, or spending an entire Saturday with friends, the right drink can make the round even more enjoyable.
The challenge? Traditional coolers quickly become cluttered with bottles, cans, melting ice, sticky spills & take up space. Instead of spending time mixing drinks between holes, many golfers are discovering the convenience of batching their favorite cocktails before they leave home.
That's where a Pump Keg shines. Prepare your favorite cocktail in advance, keep it chilled throughout the round, and pour perfectly consistent drinks whenever your group is ready—all without dragging a full bar around the course.
Here are eleven golf cart cocktails that are perfect for your next round.
1. The Transfusion
If golf had an official cocktail, this would probably be it.
A refreshing combination of vodka, grape juice, ginger ale (added individually to preserve carbonation), and fresh lime makes the Transfusion one of the most popular drinks found at country clubs across America
.
For Pump Keg users, simply batch the vodka, grape juice, and lime juice in advance. Add ginger ale directly to each glass just before serving for the perfect fizz.

Simple.
