Watermelon screams summertime fun! To dress this humble fruit up, try Watermelon Feta skewers. They are perfectly sweet and salty, and the kids will love them too!
WATERMELON FETA SKEWERS
Ingredients:
4 cups watermelon, diced 8 ounces feta block, diced Mint leaves and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions: On a cocktail skewer, alternate watermelon and feta. I like to start and finish with watermelon. Top with torn mint leaves and wedges of lime for garnish.

You also can’t go wrong with a veggie board. Have fun with how you arrange your platter and include things you’d be excited to try. Maybe you switch out the French onion dip for tzatziki or swap the hummus for an olive tapenade. The key to an elevated munchies board is garnish! Grab some fresh dill or rosemary, some Marcona almonds or dried fruit. Your guests will be excited to see what’s in store. For libations, it’s great to bring a couple of options, like a chilled sauvignon blanc and rosé, local IPA or lager, or a pitcher of mojitos! Be sure to include a non-alcoholic option; check out the easy mocktail recipe below.

ICED TEA FIZZ
Ingredients:
6 cups sweet iced tea 2 cans lemon seltzer Wedges of lemon and mint for garnish
Instructions: Simply combine your iced tea and seltzer in a pitcher. Add lemon wedges or rounds and mint for garnish. Bonus points for a cute paper straw! Finally, nothing elevates an outing quite like flowers. This may seem “extra,” but it sets the tone and shows the effort you put into this event. Have fun with it and enjoy! Bonus tip: Bring a heavy-duty trash bag and one for recycling to make cleaning up a breeze.
