For those who want to party hard by the pool this summer, I recommend this fantastic cocktail flotation device. This brilliant booze accessory is called The Drink Preserver, and is designed to keep drinks afloat while in water. This [inflatable cocktail holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cdm30) is perfect for pool lounging days.

Typically flotation devices and life preservers are designed to keep people safe, but this cute cup holder was created to take pool lounging to the next level. While this preserver holds solo cups perfectly, it can also hold water bottles. Whatever your drink of choice is, The Drink Preserver will keep it from going under. This [floating drink device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jug-hugger) is made from vinyl, and it's reasonably priced, so there's really no reason not to invest in one.
