Stock Your Outdoor Bar with Our Favorite Canned Cocktails

You found the perfect campsite, unloaded your gear, and set up the tentā€”the last thing you want to do is make some complicated drink to enjoy in the outdoors. Thankfully, beverage companies have been upping the canned cocktail game, mixing up ready-to-enjoy drinks that are not only portable but delicious. Here, we outlined our favorites, listed from the most boozy to the least.

Salt Point Beverage Greyhound ($18 for four)

Soft bubbles of grapefruit soda and vodka give a fresh-squeezed flavor. If youā€™re not a vodka fan, Salt Point also has a great cucumber-gin cocktail.

JuneShine Classic Tequila Margarita ($50 for twelve)

trades alcohol for damiana, an adaptogen said to help regulate stress. (The science is still out on that.) Ginger and jalapeƱo flavors mix with pineapple for a dark-and-stormy riff.

Ghia Ginger ($18 for four)

For a drink that packs a punch, try of spicy ginger beer and bittersweet aperitif. The retro cans are slim and short for easy portability.

Lavender isnā€™t the only herb in , which feature two milligrams of THC and four milligrams of CBD. (The drink is only available at dispensaries in select states that have legalized marijuana.) A sliding tab reseals each lid, so thereā€™s no pressure to chug the entire thing in one sitting.

In 'Against the Ice,' Actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Is Not in Kingā€™s Landing Anymore

Winter has already arrived inĢż, an Arctic survival film starring Game of Thrones actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.Ģż(You might recognize him as the infamous Kingslayer .) The movie, streaming on Netflix, is based Danish explorer (Coster-Waldau),Ģżwho in 1909ĢżembarkedĢżon a voyage with a six-person crew toĢżdetermine whether Greenland was a singular land mass, in the process solidifying Denmarkā€™s dominion over the island. But Mikkelsenā€™s adventure turns desperate when his crew leaves on a fishing boat while heā€™s still out on the ice during a scouting mission, leaving him marooned in the bitter tundra alongside engineer Iver Iversen (Peaky Blindersā€™ Joe Cole).ĢżThe two men facedĢżblistering conditions and hungry wildlife for almost 28 months.

Coster-Waldau, 51, also faced the elements while shooting Against the Ice in Greenland and Iceland. ā€œWe insisted from the beginning: we have to shoot everything on camera, on location in the Arctic,” he says. ĢżThe Danish actor, who also co-wrote and co-produced the film, has visited the island for decadesā€”his wife is originally from Greenlandā€”so he knew how dramatic the landscapes and elements can be there.

We talked with the actor about acting in subzero temperatures, sparring with a stand-in polar bear, and working alongside a fleet of sled dogs.

ŗŚĮĻ³Ō¹ĻĶų: Thereā€™s no green screen in this filmā€”youā€™re actually in Greenland and Iceland. How did filming on location affect your performance?

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau: Nature is powerful when youā€™re thereā€”it has almost a will of its own. But of course there were days when we got a lot more than we bargained for, and we had some storms that were ferocious. Whatā€™s so exciting is that the weather you see the film is what we really were experiencing. When the characters are struggling against the wind and in a snowstorm, we were really in a snowstorm during filming. There are a couple of shots where an hour after we got those shots, we all had to be evacuated from this glacier in Iceland because it was too dangerous. There was a guy in a vanā€”a video assist guyā€”and suddenly rocks flew through the windows because the wind was so powerful. It was insane, but we kept shooting until that point. We shot in negative 18 degrees Fahrenheit. It was really cold. You can see that in the faces and the beards, the way you talk. It affects your performance and makes it all about wanting to be as authentic as possible.

What was the biggest challengeā€”mental or physicalā€”of filming this movie?Ģż

I think that if I had to pick one, thereā€™s the scene with the polar bear, which wasnā€™t a polar bear but this guy who was throwing me around. That was probably the toughest moment of the movie. Thereā€™s CGI, but to shoot it we had to have a stand-in to throw me. He was wearing a helmet with a polar bear head. He was a former Icelandic Olympian, the judo heavyweight champion of Iceland. Big guy, very strong. He was throwing me around, and after five, six, seven takes, I had to stop because I felt sick. I had a slight concussion from that experience.

Do you have a favorite survival movie or book? Ģż

I like stories about explorers going to unknown land and just breaking new ground. I think my favorite movie of that kind is The Right Stuff. I love that movie, about these guys exploring the limits of aviation. And then, of course, Free SoloĢżfrom a couple years ago.

Your character in the film is drawn to extremes. Are there any extremes you gravitate toward?Ģż

I do a lot of mountain biking. I love when weā€™re in Greenland to go on hikes. We sometimes will take the tent with us and go off for a few days. Iā€™ve never done anything like these guysā€”this is so extreme. I donā€™t have to feel that Iā€™m about to die to enjoy it. I donā€™t need to BASE-jump. Thatā€™s not my thing.

What was it like to work with your furry castmates, the sled dogs?Ģż

Those dogs are so powerful. To see the hunters in Greenland with the dogs is incredible: how precise they are with the whipā€”the whip is never hurting the dogs, itā€™s just making a little sound next to them to go left, right, stop. This is a way of transportation that has been used for so long,Ģżand itā€™s still used in northwestern Greenland because itā€™s the best, the safest, the most economical way of traveling. And itā€™s with animals! The dogs were greatā€”and they didnā€™t charge you for overtime.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

How to Watch the Alex Lowe Documentary ā€˜Tornā€™ Online

Legendary alpinist Alex Loweā€™s life and untimely death have been the stuff of climbing legend for decades. But Torn, a new documentary directed by his son Max Lowe, tells a version of the story you havenā€™t heard before.ĢżThe film weaves together unseen archival footage with intimate family interviews to explore the aftermath of death in the mountains and the long shadow Lowe cast on his loved ones.

Lowe and cameraman David Bridges died in 1999 after being caught in an avalanche while traversing Tibetā€™s Shishapangma. Conrad Anker, Loweā€™s climbing partner and best friend, survived the accident and eventually married Loweā€™s widow Jennifer and adopted their sons Max, Sam, and Isaac. Now, more than 20 years after Loweā€™s death, the eldest son, 33-year-old Max, steps behind the camera to grapple with the shades of loss across a blended family.

ā€œTo the outside world, Ankerā€™s devotion to the family appeared to be an act of love rooted in a mix of benevolence, grief, and guilt,ā€ wrote Grayson Schaffer in an ŗŚĮĻ³Ō¹ĻĶų review. ā€œBut to a young Max missing his father, Anker rotating into the family home wasnā€™t necessarily cause for celebration. Part of Maxā€™s journey in the film is coming to terms with the gift that Anker would become in his life.ā€

If you havenā€™t watched the documentary yet (or youā€™re looking to see it again), hereā€™s where to find it.
