You may have noticed that all of these activities have a few things in common (aside from none of them requiring you to put on real pants). We can still maintain a sense of spaciousness from others, while bonding over the things we love! With that in mind, we partnered with Smirnoff Zero Sugar Infusions Vodka to gather a list of our favorite quarantine-friendly activities for summer 2021 (none of which are a Zoom happy hour, something we know everyone is over by now): 3. Take a “food pairing vacation”: We can’t exactly jetset around the world right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try all the cuisines and drinks it has to offer. Experience these unique flavors (and channel your inner Gordon Ramsay) through a socially distant food pairing. Assign everyone a country/cuisine, ask them to create single servings of their dish and drink, and find an outdoor space to meet up, chow down, and transport your taste buds to a far-off land. Here are some to get you started: Pair any of these Mediterranean snacks with a Smirnoff Cucumber & Lime Vodka cocktail for an unbeatable combo. 5. Socially distanced bonfire: A throwback to back in the day, bonfires are basically the best excuse we can think of to make s’mores. But we’re adults now (gosh darnit), so it’s time to elevate our drinking choices. For something refreshing with a twist, try this on for size: a sugar-free take on the classic mojito, made with Smirnoff Watermelon & Mint Vodka.
