Cocktails and Mocktails for (Social Distancing) Memorial Day
by Elizabeth MacDonaldThe start of summer is around the corner with Memorial Day leading the way. It's known as one of the biggest BBQ weekends of the year, and what comes with a great BBQ? A great drink selection!
It can be hard to host parties right now - with no more than 10 people gathering together. However, we are seeing the rise of neighborhood street parties! What better way to bond with your neighbors than an outdoor potluck - social distance style. Invite all the houses to set up tables and tailgate chairs while each providing food and a fun pitcher full of something delicious for everyone to enjoy. You can safely walk around the street to grab samples and catch up with friends while the kids all have water balloon fights and play in sprinklers.
Choose a great drink for the kids and another for the adults and start planning that block party!
