About Sinks & Cocktail Stations
Outdoor Kitchen Sinks and Cocktail Stations
A sink transforms your outdoor kitchen from a grilling station into a complete outdoor cooking and entertaining space. Wash produce, rinse utensils, and clean up without running back inside. Cocktail stations add a dedicated bar area for entertaining.
Why Add an Outdoor Sink?
Convenience is the primary benefit. Thaw meat, wash vegetables, fill pots, and rinse dishes without leaving your outdoor kitchen. For food safety, having running water nearby lets you wash hands between handling raw and cooked foods.
Cleanup becomes significantly easier when you can rinse utensils and cutting boards immediately rather than carrying everything inside.
Sink Configurations
Drop-In Sinks: Standard sinks that install into a countertop cutout. Available in single and double basin configurations. Most versatile and affordable option.
Sink with Faucet: Complete units including sink basin and faucet. Simplifies installation by ensuring compatible components.
Bar Sinks: Smaller, shallower sinks designed for beverage prep and glass rinsing rather than dishwashing.
Cocktail Stations
Dedicated cocktail stations combine a bar sink with ice bins, bottle storage, and speed rails. These turn a corner of your outdoor kitchen into a functional bar for entertaining. Look for insulated ice wells that keep ice frozen longer.
Plumbing Considerations
Outdoor sinks require both water supply and drain lines. Hot water is optional but recommended. Work with a licensed plumber for proper installation, including winterization if you experience freezing temperatures.
Material
All Kokomo sinks feature 304 stainless steel construction for durability and easy cleaning. Stainless resists staining, odors, and bacteria growth.
