Stock Up & Celebrate: Your Ultimate G-Will Liquors 4th of July Guide

The Fourth of July is the crown jewel of the Minnesota summer. It’s the one holiday where the recipe for success is gloriously simple: great weather, a hot grill, a nearby lake, and a cooler packed with refreshing drinks. Whether you are hosting a massive neighborhood block party in the Twin Cities suburbs, heading up north to the cabin, or gathering with family in your own backyard, Independence Day demands a little bit of strategic preparation.

At G-Will Liquors, we have spent years helping Minnesotans pull off the perfect holiday gathering. If there is one piece of advice our team echoes year after year, it is this: don’t wait until July 3rd to buy your supplies. Fighting the last-minute holiday traffic and staring at picked-over shelves is no way to start a long weekend.

To help you beat the rush and keep your holiday budget firmly on track, we are launching our massive 4th of July Celebration Sale running from June 25th through July 15th. We have marked down the high-volume crowd-pleasers, patio essentials, and premium spirits you need to keep the party moving from afternoon lawn games straight through the evening fireworks.

Step 1: Lock in the Crowd-Pleasing Beer Standards

When you are hosting a large group, variety and volume are the names of the game. You want reliable, crisp options that pair perfectly with charred burgers, grilled brats, and hot summer afternoons.

For the ultimate cooler foundation, we have marked down 24-pack cans of Budweiser, Bud Light, and Bud Select to just $19.99. If your guests prefer a clean, local favorite born right here in the Midwest, Michelob Golden Draft and Golden Draft Light 24-pack cans are also on sale for $19.99.

Planning on a marathon backyard session? Size up to our 24-pack of 16oz Busch and Busch Light cans for $20.99. The larger 16oz size is a favorite for long holiday weekends, ensuring your guests spend less time making trips back and forth to the ice chest.

Step 2: Build a Better, Safer Patio Bar

Glass bottles and pool decks or concrete patios do not mix. A single dropped bottle can instantly halt a party. To keep your outdoor spaces safe and your hosting duties stress-free, look toward high-quality alternative packaging.

For the wine lovers at your gathering, premium boxed wine is the ultimate summer hack. We have all available 3-Liter Bota Boxes on sale for $15.49. Don’t let old stereotypes fool you—Bota Box delivers exceptional, vintage-dated wines that stay fresh for weeks. They are incredibly easy to transport to the lake, won’t shatter on the dock, and provide the equivalent of four standard bottles of wine in one compact, eco-friendly package.

Step 3: Streamline Your Spirits with Bulk Bottles

A signature holiday cocktail is a great touch, but no host wants to spend their entire evening playing bartender. Stocking your bar cart with versatile, premium 1.75L handles allows guests to mix their own classic summer drinks—like a refreshing vodka lemonade or a classic whiskey ginger—at their own pace.

For the whiskey fans, Jim Beam Bourbon Whiskey 1.75L handles are on sale for $24.99. Even better, you can drop that price down to an unbeatable $19.99 after utilizing the maximum mail-in rebate. It’s the perfect, oak-forward bourbon for mixing into casual summer cocktails. On the clear spirits side, we feature Absolut Vodka 80 1.75L handles for $23.99. Clean, smooth, and endlessly versatile, Absolut is the ultimate canvas for mid-summer mixed drinks.
