After a season of unpredictable weather, there is a growing desire to hold onto summer’s carefree, sun-soaked moments. In fact, more than half of Americans wished summer lasted longer, based on a study conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Chinet. 

Dogfish Head Cocktails is making it so summer fun can continue. In celebration of its new ready-to-drink Peach Mango Rum Punch cocktail, available exclusively within its Tropical Cocktail Mix Pack, Dogfish Head will pay one consumer to extend their summertime state-of-mind. 

Dogfish Head is seeking one sunshine-loving consumer to drop everything for a month-long, seaside escape in coastal Delaware, and Dogfish Head will foot the bill, covering housing in a beachfront bungalow, and will pay the winner a $10,000 stipend to keep the summer fun going strong.

“For the last 30-plus years, Dogfish Head has been lucky enough to call coastal Delaware home,” said Dogfish Head Founder Sam Calagione in a statement. “Just like the natural flavor goodness in our Delaware-made ready-to-drink cocktails, our beaches are vibrant and beautiful, and there’s no better time to visit than September/October ― the weather is awesome, the water is inviting, the crowds less robust, and the traffic virtually disappears ― we like to call it ‘locals’ summer.’”

Consumers can visit www.dogfish.com/extend-your-summer to enter for a chance to win Dogfish Head’s “Extend Your Summer” contest by sharing why they want to relish in the dog(fish) days of summer for a bit longer ― bonus points will be awarded for the most off-centered answer, the company says. Entrants must be 21 and older and U.S. residents. 

Coinciding with the sweepstakes, Dogfish Head is releasing its Tropical Cocktail Mix Pack of ready-to-drink refreshers. Featuring an assortment of four varieties, including its new Peach Mango Rum Punch, Dogfish Head’s Tropical Cocktail Mix Pack includes two cans of each of the following options:

•    Peach Mango Rum Punch (7% ABV): Dogfish Head rum mixed with real fruit juice from peaches and mangos.

•    Blood Orange Mango Vodka Crush (7% ABV): A citrusy and crush-able cocktail combining Dogfish Head vodka and real fruit juice from blood oranges and mangos.

•    Pineapple Orange Rum Mai Tai (7% ABV): Dogfish Head rum combined with real fruit juice from pineapples and oranges.

•    Strawberry Lime Tequila Margarita (7% ABV): An off-centered take on a classic Margarita featuring tequila Blanco and Dogfish Head Triple Sec mixed with real fruit juice from strawberries and limes.

Showcasing its 20-plus years of distilling experience, each of Dogfish Head’s ready-to-drink cocktails combines two shots of house-made spirits and a duo of real fruit juices. 

“Our lucky winner is not only going to love spending time sipping on our delicious lineup of ready-to-drink cocktails, but they’re going to love what everything about their coastal Delaware stay ― ocean views, renowned restaurants and music venues within walking distance, and of course, visits to Dogfish Head’s own hospitality properties,” Calagione said. “Whether you leave your laptop or log in and work from the beach, that’s up to you ― but whatever you choose, be sure it’s with a cocktail in hand and your toes in the sand.”
