Stefan Nielsen's Picks

🏖️ Beach Picks and Drinks


Beach Pick: Oat Hill Lake Beach

Oat Hill Lake is one of Dartmouth’s best kept secrets; it’s often one of the first lakes in the city to warm up and it’s rarely crowded (don’t ruin this for me!). If you’re looking for something refreshing and low-octane to drink in the sun, I cannot recommend Casa Mariol Vermut Blanco enough. Pour a couple ounces on ice and top with soda, a slice of lemon if you’re feeling fancy and you, my friend, are good to go. Keep the ratio of vermouth to soda water reasonable and you’ll be properly hydrated all day with your thirst deliciously quenched. Please swim responsibly!!
