Friends at home? Surprise them with a cold beer and delicious snacks
Never underestimate a good beer with friends. Mugs for beer, juices and crushes, jugs used alternatively, bowls with snacks and empty bottles that turn into straws or skewers holders.
For those who spend the summer in the city, it's time for cocktails outdoors and carefree evenings with friends until dawn. Open the summer at the gates starting from the haunt you know best: your home!
It will be an opportunity to spend a different evening, in the spirit of friendship.The organization is really simple. You just have to remember to put the beers on ice in the morning and set the mugs in the evening. The empty bottles will be perfect as containers for straws for any soft drinks and sticks for snacks.
Talking about snacks, don’t leave your friends on an empty stomach! It's summer, it's hot. Simply fill the large salad bowls and other containers with fresh fruit and vegetables to pick with your hands; open popcorn and chips (always to keep in the larder for just such occasions), and prepare a few bowl of peanuts ... And you're done!
If, on the other hand, you are planning on a richer buffet in view of the dinner, you can propose simple but tasty sandwiches. You’ll place the sliced bread in a nice large plate, with the various ingredients for the filling in separate bowls and plates: ham, mayonnaise, cheese, tomatoes, salad and whatever else inspires your palate and those of the guests. As desserts, ice cream served in variously coloured cups is a great idea. If you don’t have enough containers for everyone, it certainly won’t look bad to replace them with classic table glasses. The rule is nothing demanding: the evening must be relaxing for you too.
Finally, don’t forget about the friends who don’t like beer and prepare some jugs of red orange and grapefruit juice, as well as the tastes they love best. To add a touch of style to the drinks table, bring a large cooler with its pliers, so that everyone can add to the glass the right amount of freshness. For the location, the sitting room will be fine but, alternatively, you can accommodate everyone on the veranda, or even in the garden. If you have any available hammocks, you’ll spend a few carefree hours of chats, drinks and relax.
At the end of the evening, which will surely be nice, renew the event and you'll see some other friends suggest their homes as venues. And you will relive, for that extra evening, a perfect holiday atmosphere ... Even for you who never leave the city, even in summer!
