11 Best Drink Dispensers for Home EntertainingStocksy


"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

When it comes to a convenient way to serve beverages to a crowd, a durable drink dispenser levels up the party by a few notches, and makes it easy for guests to serve themselves.

Whether you’re serving fresh-brewed iced tea, mocktails, cocktails, bloody marys, or fruity sangria, a proper drink dispenser is an absolute home entertaining essential. Maybe you’re looking for a smaller, sleek carafe-style pitcher with a lid to bring along with you to a picnic at the park or an oversized drink dispenser for ice-cold water to serve to your little ones after soccer practice. Whatever the occasion, we have you covered, and we guarantee you’ll get a ton of use out of one of these picks below — especially with summer in full swing.

To refine our list, we scoured the virtual shelves high and low for top-rated drink dispensers that didn’t break the bank or have a constantly clogged spigot. We considered durability and stability (who wants that batch of margaritas whose recipe you spent hours researching to topple over before anyone is literally tipsy?), how easy the products were to clean, the tap or spigot design, and the overall design of the product. Grab the outdoor bar cart and say cheers to the best beverage station ever.

2.5-Gallon Bark Beverage Dispenser

If you’re looking for a drinks dispenser that’s both sleek and functional, this 2.5-gallon option from CreativeWare is a winner. The product has 6,717 and counting 5-star reviews with customers’ praising how lightweight it is, its easy pouring capabilities, and durability.

“Perfect, perfect, perfect,” wrote one satisfied Amazon reviewer. “It’s nice and sturdy/solid. Easy to clean and transport. You could even put decor in the bottom if you want to be more creative since it’s partially hollow.”

That last point is a great feature if you’re hosting a themed party or want an extra pop of color by your tablescape. We also love the simple-to-use spigot.

FYI: This acrylic dispenser is also available with a 1.5-gallon capacity if that better suits your needs.

Circleware Hobnail Glass Beverage Dispenser

We can't get over the cute square shape and sweet hobnail glass texture of this 1.6-gallon drink dispenser. Maybe it's because it looks like an oversized juice box, but we think this would work best for serving fruit punch, Kool-Aid, or other kid-friendly beverages at birthday parties.

94-Ounce Pitcher Drink Dispenser

Dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, elegant enough for entertaining? Check, check, and check plus. This porcelain pitcher holds 94 ounces of liquids and looks spiffier on a table than, say, that plastic jug you use to hold water in your fridge or Brita water filter.

“Very good quality, it's heavy enough so liquids won’t spill out with a little in it,” wrote one happy user.”

Oh, and you can even use it as a vase: “Nice statement piece. I am using the pitcher for live flowers. Heavier than I thought, but very sturdy and appears unbreakable,” wrote another customer.

64-Ounce Water Filter Pitcher Drink Dispenser

Filter water enthusiasts, we see you. Sometimes, you want to serve yourself or guests filtered water but want a pitcher that looks attractive on the table and not like a clunker.

That’s why we love the refined silhouette of the Hydros 64-ounce water filter pitcher. It holds up to eight cups of water at a time and comes in white, blue, gray, or red to fit a variety of aesthetic preferences. A Fast Flo filter ensures that water filters swiftly (the brand claims it’s up to five times faster than competitors) and effectively removes chlorine (90% reduction) and sediment (99% reduction) from your H2O.

Even cooler: Their filters are constructed from 100% coconut shell carbon in a BPA-free casing, making this product an eco-friendly choice.

P.S. For the carafe-crazed, check out the Hydros 40-ounce Water Filter Slim Pitcher.
