thursday night social {29}

It’s our Thursday Night Social time  ~~~

Happy “Friday Eve” ~ and I hope you’re having a happy week!

This is my favorite cocktail hour each week, and I’m already looking ahead to the weekend ~ and it’s a 3 day holiday weekend to head into summer. So, this week’s social is all about outdoor take-alongs for the beach, pool, picnic, cookout, and all the things we love about summer! As usual, for our virtual social time let’s start with a beverage, shall we?

How about this genius idea? Frozen Vodka Lemonade in heavy-duty ziplock bags. It’s like Capri Sun for grown-ups! Found on Tumbler ~~~

Or maybe sit under the big umbrella and sip on this Sneaky Beach Cocktail from tastebook.com ~~~

Try cupcake papers as drink toppers to keep uninvited drop-ins away from your beverage ~ thanks to our friends at marthastewart.com ~~~

 

We need some take-along eats to go with the drinks. Love this idea for Chopped Salad in a Cup from 247lowcarbdiner.com ~~~

From something from the grill, I’m definitely trying these Pork Tenderloin Sliders on our favorite rolls from kingshawaiian.com ~~~

And finally for something sweet, maybe a mini version of the southern classic Jello Pretzel Salad from sherrylwilson.com ~~~

So that’s a beverage, a salad, a grilled slider, and a dessert ~ all packed and portable to go. Anyone want to head to the beach? Or even the backyard? Anywhere is good on Memorial Day Weekend. Let’s get this summer started y’all!

That’s our holiday weekend Thursday Night Social time. Hope you have a 4F holiday ~ family, friends, food and fun ~ and hope to see you again next week. Cheers y’all ~~~
