Refreshing Summer Party Drinks
To help you beat the heat while
entertaining this month, I've compiled a few drink recipes to
complement a variety of summer party themes. Click on the
drink name to go to the recipe. For simplicity, I've selected
recipes that yield many servings, which is best for preparing ahead
and offering on a self-serve bar.
08.08.08 I Summer Olympics
Cheer on "Team USA" with a pitcher of American Punch,
made with bourbon, America's 'distinctive
liquor' as passed by Congress in 1964.
 New England Clambake
Host a luxurious beach party (sans
sand) and enjoy a refreshing glass of Watermelonade
with your favorite coastal entree.
 Tex-Mex BBQ
They do everything BIG in Texas so for
your next BBQ, serve Lime Beer Cocktails
in a 16 oz. Mason Drinking Jar with handle and lots of ice!
 South Beach Cocktails
For this sophisticated soiree, I
envision transforming your pool deck into an ultra-sleek night
club with all-white furniture (locally available for rental).
A mojito is the only
refreshing beverage option!
Create a tropical oasis by
serving fruit smoothies in a coconut cup from a tiki
bar. Smoothies are easy to make but I recommend
hiring a local company to blend tasty Pina Coladas for
your next party.

More Beverage Ideas
Impromptu gatherings happen a lot
in the summer. Two additional ideas are:
Keep a ziplock bag of seasonal
fruit in the freezer; serve in pitchers of ice tea or
lemonade. My favorite is a medley of frozen berries with
Crystal Light Raspberry Ice Tea. It's so
refreshing!
Another trick is to
freeze pureed fruit in ice cube trays. When company
arrives, pour a chilled, dry wine over a few cubes. It's like
instant sangria!
