4th of July Planning

This blog post comes from the new Republic Tequila intern, Brittney. Brittney has a tips on planning for a successeful Holiday weekend, so read up!

The 4th of July stands for all of the things we love about our country: barbeque, grilling, watermelon, cold beer, margaritas, shooting off fireworks, and having a day off work to spend time with family and friends. Whether you spend the holiday at home, on vacation, with relatives, with no relatives, with friends, or completely by yourself there are definitely a few things everyone should prepare for in order to successfully celebrate our great nation.

1. Traffic.

Getting to your favorite firework viewing spot is pretty much always a hassle. Plan on leaving early, don’t forget your blankets and chairs, and park yourself in a prime location to watch the sky explode with colors.

2. Bugs

If you’re not outside on the 4th of July then you aren’t celebrating properly. Don’t ruin your day itching and let the mosquitoes get the best of you, always be prepared with bug spray when you plan on heading outdoors.

3. Food & Drinks

You can’t overbuy. The worst party is the party that runs out of food. Go to the closest grocery store and/or liquor store to stock up in bulk on your favorite buns, dogs, drinks, and Republic Tequila Spirit Blends to ensure a successful (and full) holiday.

4. Fireworks

There are numerous places to watch them and they’re always one of the best parts of the day. Wish you could create your own show? This year, you can. The new Swakker Fireworks App lets you create a show along with a personal message so you can test your skills and impress your friends.

No matter how you celebrate, or who you celebrate with, 4th of July is always the time to remember how much you love your country and be thankful to the troops who serve it. Have fun, be safe, drink responsibly, and remember not to be sad the holiday is over because there’s always another one next year!

Happy 4^th of July!
