We all know that summer is the king (or queen?) of backyard barbecues. Whether you're hosting one on your own, or having a pot-luck, the most essential component of any barbecue is the cocktail.

This past 4th of July we had a laid back barbecue and watched some fireworks at our apartment. I was bound and determined to find the best, “least deadly hangover” cocktail out there. After some research and trial-and-error, I landed on this Watermelon margarita. 

It has 5 ingredients total:

  • Watermelon - I did a whole batch of store bought cubes blended in the blender and strained.

  • Tequila

  • TrippleSec

  • Lime Juice

  • LOTS of ice

It was a huge success, and ended up being a super fresh addition to our typical BBQ spread. This makes me want to find lots more fresh cocktail recipes to bring to the remaining summer backyard parties!

FINISHING TOUCHES:

Lastly, I always make sure to have some fresh flowers or succulents around the house. I feel that this organic touch is the best welcome to anyone coming over.

The best part of any party is the company, of course. So get to mixing, hosting, and celebrating with your favorite Snow Studio tips - all of which are Callie approved.
