Luxury camping and the art of the perfect holiday cocktail

At FarmCamps, they understand that modern holidaymakers are looking for an authentic connection with nature without sacrificing comfort. The concept of farm glamping combines agricultural education with high-quality recreation, involving families directly in the daily activities on the farmyard. The experience of cocktailtjes.nl shows that this active form of relaxation supports mental calm and helps bridge the gap between city and countryside. While children learn the basics of livestock farming, parents can truly unwind in a lovely setting while enjoying one or more cocktails. Kids happy, you relaxed.

The synergy between education and outdoor living

The strength of staying on a working farm lies in the tangible experiences that go beyond a standard camping holiday. Visitors discover sustainable farming and the origin of our food, which creates a deeper understanding of the food chain. In practice, interaction with animals and fresh air has a measurable positive effect on the wellbeing of the whole family. Whether you stay in a luxury safari tent or a ranch tent with private sanitary facilities, the focus is on experiencing rural life. The farmyard becomes an interactive space where relaxation and learning go hand in hand.

The rise of mixology in a rural setting

After a day full of outdoor activities, many guests look for ways to enrich their evening on the veranda with a culinary touch. We’re seeing a growing trend of holidaymakers experimenting with mixology to bring the luxury of a high-end bar to the countryside. An absolute classic that fits perfectly with a warm summer day on the farm is the Sex on the Beach recipe. This drink is a so-called long drink, known for its layered fruity profile and refreshing qualities. Using quality spirits and fresh juices transforms a simple moment of rest into a professional tasting experience under the stars.

The importance of a balanced flavour profile

At Cocktailtjes, they notice that the popularity of fruity highballs like Sex on the Beach comes down to the precise balance between sweet and sour. For the best result, Cocktailtjes’ knowledge base recommends a ratio of 40 ml vodka, 20 ml peach liqueur, topped up with equal parts fresh orange juice and cranberry juice. The technique used is the “build method”, where ingredients are layered directly into a glass filled with ice. This method preserves the aromatic nuances of the peach liqueur, which is essential to the authentic character of this timeless summer drink.

Tips for the perfect Sex on the Beach recipe

The secret to a successful camping cocktail lies in temperature control and the right presentation. Always use plenty of ice; too few ice cubes cause the drink to dilute too quickly, disrupting the balance between alcohol and fruity components. For those looking for extra variety beyond the classic Sex on the Beach recipe, the cocktailtjes.nl website offers many innovative variations and garnish tips to give the drink your own unique signature. A carefully chosen garnish, such as a slice of orange, can instantly elevate the aromatic experience of the cocktail – for the perfect result next to your tent.

Valuable moments on the farmyard

In the end, combining authentic farm life with homemade treats is all about slowing down and savouring the moment. The synergy between the calm of wide open meadows and the pleasure of creating a quality drink creates a feeling of ultimate freedom. At FarmCamps, making these unforgettable memories possible is central to their philosophy. You return home with renewed respect for the agricultural sector and the ability to recreate that specific holiday vibe at home. The countryside offers the space and inspiration needed for a truly restorative and educational holiday experience.

Farm life, Italian style

Anyone who loves camping on a farm and the outdoor life will feel right at home in the south of Italy. The region of Puglia is known for its agricultural character, but with a Mediterranean twist. Instead of cows in the fields, you’ll find endless landscapes of olive groves and vineyards. Staying at an agriturismo or a masseria (a historic farmhouse) is the perfect way to experience this rural lifestyle. Children can play freely in nature while you enjoy the peace, space and tranquillity.

City and countryside combined

A farm holiday stands for freedom, playing in the mud and learning about nature. However, the experience of brugge.nl shows that many families like to combine this rural tranquillity with a cultural day trip. From experience, we know that during a FarmCamps holiday you’ll probably never want to leave the farmyard. But if you’re staying on a farm in the south, a visit to Bruges is literally just around the corner. It’s the perfect way for children to discover not only farm life, but also the rich history of a medieval city.

On the farm: how to get your dog used to other animals

Farm life sounds like a dream to many people, and for dogs it truly is one too. There are new scents to discover everywhere, plenty of space to run around, and all kinds of animals roaming about. Still, that first encounter with a cow, horse or chicken doesn’t always go smoothly. Out of sheer excitement or hunting instinct, your dog can get into serious trouble or scare the livestock badly. According to the experts at labradoodleinfo.nl, a calm and controlled introduction is therefore crucial for the safety of all animals on the farm.

Outdoor life with a little extra: farm holidays beyond the border
