During warmer months, it's only natural to plan backyard barbecues, park picnics, and celebrations by the pool. When stocking up on supplies for outdoor soirées, it's a great idea to avoid fragile drinkware in favor of more durable options. No one wants to worry about broken shards while poolside.

Luckily, there are many outdoor-friendly entertaining options, from colorful wine glasses to tall cups that beautifully house seasonal cocktails. Sometimes referred to as shatter-resistant or non-shatter, these drinking glasses are typically made from acrylic or ultra-sturdy plastic (so they are dishwasher-friendly!) and won't fade from hours of sunlight exposure. Ahead, shop our favorite drinkware for enjoying seasonal beverages al fresco.
