Whether you're hosting a cookout, relaxing on the patio, or heading out for the weekend, Family Beer & Liquor has everything you need to celebrate the long weekend with great drinks and easy party planning.

Memorial Day is all about easygoing summer drinks. From domestic favorites and local craft beers to hard seltzers, canned cocktails, and refreshing wines, it’s the perfect time to fill the cooler and try something new.

At Family Beer & Liquor, you’ll find:

  • Over 1,300 beers

  • More than 2,400 wines

  • Thousands of liquor and ready-to-drink options

  • Mixers, ice, and party essentials all in one stop

Planning a party? Build your own “Mix 6” from our beer selection and let everyone sample something different.

Easy Memorial Day Cocktail Ideas

Looking for simple drinks that are perfect for warm weather? Here are a few crowd-pleasing favorites:

  • Spiked Lemonade: Refreshing, simple, and perfect for outdoor parties.

  • Ranch Water: Tequila, lime, and sparkling water — light, crisp, and easy to make.

  • Berry Vodka Spritz: Fresh berries, vodka, lemonade, and soda water make an easy summer cocktail.

  • Classic Margarita: A Memorial Day weekend staple that never disappoints.

You can find even more cocktail inspiration on our website with recipes for every season and occasion.

Don’t Forget the Party Essentials

The best parties are the ones where you don’t run out of drinks halfway through the day.

Our website now features a handy Drink Calculator that helps you estimate how much beer, wine, liquor, and mixers you’ll need based on your guest count and event length — making party planning easier than ever.

And while you’re shopping, don’t forget:

  • Ice

  • Cups and napkins

  • Mixers and garnishes

  • Non-alcoholic beverages

  • Ready-to-drink cocktails

Cheers to Summer

Memorial Day is also a time to pause and remember those who served and sacrificed for our country. As we gather with family and friends this weekend, we’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to support local businesses and celebrate together.

From all of us at Family Beer & Liquor, we wish you a safe, relaxing, and fun Memorial Day weekend.

Stop in, stock up, and get ready for summer.
