Picnic with the FLSK drinking bottle

Picnics are one of the classic pleasures of summer. You and your loved ones cozy up on a blanket under the trees. Soft grass beneath you, a blue sky with fluffy clouds above. And beside you: a basket full of treats. All you have to do is reach out and help yourself to the finest drinks and snacks... Ah, wonderful!

To ensure your picnic is an enjoyable and stylish affair, there are a few things to keep in mind. Simply follow our checklist and fill your picnic basket with our recipe recommendations.

The basic equipment for a picnic

For a successful breakfast you don’t need many things, but you do need the right ones:

• A generous, waterproof picnic blanket. After all, a wet bottom means the end of any fun.

• Instead of heavy porcelain dishes or unsightly paper plates, we recommend ultra-light and stylish plates made of bamboo or melamine.

• Proper cutlery and cloth napkins (no plastic, no paper – it makes a world of difference).

• Garbage bag and tea towel for leftovers and small mishaps.

• FLSK drinking bottles that keep your drinks refreshingly cold long after sunset, even without a cooler bag.

Recipe ideas for the picnic basket

For a picnic, food that's easy to eat and tastes good even cold is best. Avoid anything that crumbles, falls apart, or is otherwise unstable. Otherwise, the dry sponge cake might just end up being used to feed the ducks.

Perishable or melting foods that rely on a constant cold chain are also not a good idea. This includes animal products in particular, but also cream products and anything containing chocolate.

When it comes to drinks, make sure you have a balanced mix of thirst quenchers like water or fruit juice spritzers, and creative drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) that are simply fun. Refrigeration is a must, so fill your FLSK water bottle with refreshments for the road.

The best places for your picnic: The green meadow in the park is, of course, the all-time favorite. But more creative event locations are also worthwhile. Possible spots for a stylish picnic include boats, beaches, rooftop terraces, a lakeside pier, forest clearings, public squares, monuments, or the riverside steps.

The upgrade : The surroundings are just as important at a picnic as the food. It's not just about getting full, but also about having an experience. A Bluetooth speaker, lanterns, pillows, and decorative elements like a cloth strung across the trees or a garland can help with this.
