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.

This best-selling Mason jar-inspired beverage dispenser is a favorite among reviewers for its petite 1-gallon size, transportability, and cute simplicity. We love the oversized stainless steel pour spout and metal screw top for seamless serving, refills, and cleanup.

If you need something compact, but chic to serve boozy lemonade at your next brunch get-together, this is the beverage dispenser for you.

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.

Maybe it's just us ... but this 1.5-gallon beverage dispenser basically screams fruity, chilled sangria. The etched glass adds a touch of sophistication to an otherwise simple design, making this beverage dispenser ideal for showcasing your most colorful punch, batched cocktails, or summer sangria.

Whether you’re whipping up a batch of lemonade, sweet tea, or bloody marys, this large, 3.5-gallon capacity is crafted from clear Tritan, which is made to last for the long term.

This drink dispenser comes with handy included features like a clear base to attach to the drink dispenser, a removable ice cone to keep drinks cooler, and a chalkboard sign for you to denote what’s within the container for guests.

The large capacity means fun at the party will keep flowing for hours and the well-constructed spout dispenses drinks in a jiffy.

A nice balance between casual and elegant, we like the dark metal raised base of this 1-gallon drink dispenser from Estilo. Since the stand allows for space underneath the dispenser, you can easily stash cups, ladles, or extra fruit for your sangria right nearby.

With its generous 2.5-gallon capacity (that's 40 cups), this clear plastic beverage dispenser is the perfect vessel for ice-cold water or Gatorade for the whole team after weekend soccer practice. Parents will love the handle for portability, and the pour spout adds another element of convenience.

You've likely seen pitchers like these on the table at your favorite brunch restaurant and wondered to yourself: Where can I buy something like this? As someone who owns a few carafes like these, I highly recommend this set for its versatility.

Batch up a mimosa or bloody mary on the weekend, pop on the plastic top, and head to the park with your bestie. Thank me later!

We love the vintage aesthetic of this blue oversized Mason jar-style beverage dispenser from Home to Table. At 2.15 gallons, it’s significantly bigger than most other picks on this list, which makes it ideal for serving ice-cold lemon water on a hot summer day, Gatorade at the kids’ soccer practice, or refreshing lemonade.

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.

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.
