Set up a tiki bar
Set up a garnish tray with toothpicks, olives, strawberries, slices of lemon, lime, orange, cherries, celery, whipped cream, and stir sticks. Set the containers on a tray of ice to keep them cool and fresh.
If you don’t have an outdoor refrigerator fill a large cooler half full of ice to set your pitchers, or blender containers in to keep them cool.
Here are a couple summer drink recipes to get your outdoor cocktail party started:
We have a new blog in the b5media Lifestyles network called Drinks After Dark. It’s loaded with more beverage ideas for your summer cocktail party, including these really cute cubist glasses that would work great for cocktails in the great outdoors. They’d also be a great conversation piece.
Decorate with palm trees, flip flops, and grass skirts. Don’t forget to play some Jimmy Buffet, or Beach Boy tunes to set the mood.
You can stock the bar yourself, or ask each guest to bring a bottle of something. Stick to a couple drinks to keep things simple. You don’t have to be a master mixer, just use your favorite recipes to mix up some fun.
