Your Guide to the Ultimate Summer Party

 SOLO believes that the everyday is worth celebrating. We love to gather around for Labor and Memorial Day barbeques and watch fireworks on the 4th of July just as much as everyone else, but we also love more spontaneous and simple celebrations. Your garden is in full bloom? Time for a SOLObration. Your favorite movie is airing on TV tonight? Time for a SOLObration. You're simply in a good mood? Time for a SOLObration!

We want you to party your way through summer, so we're here to make things easy. Food suggestions, drink recipes, entertaining tips--you'll be able to find them all here. We're here to make your life easy so you can spend more time doing what you love with who you love. It's a pretty sweet deal, isn't it? We'd like to think so.

Watermelon Cocktail

Like Detective Sonny from Miami Vice, we're also a "fiend for mojitos." We love how with only a few ingredients, you can create a refreshing drink that tastes just like summer. While these cocktails look fancy (check out the vibrancy of that pink!), they take almost no time to prepare and are perfect for an impromptu happy hour in the backyard or for a party where you want to make an impression. Find out how to make this delicious Watermelon & Cucumber Mojito at home.


Cannonball Cocktail.jpg

Some drinks are classics, and others are completely unexpected. The Rum Cannonball falls into the latter category. It's fruity but not too fruity, strong but not too strong...basically, it is the cocktail you never knew you were missing. What better way to surprise your friends this summer than with a fun new drink to try!? 


Dessert Table-1.jpg

There are so many delicious savory foods at barbeques and picnics that it's hard to save room for dessert. However, many of us would argue that dessert is the best part of any meal!

Save your guests and yourself the fuss by making these easy, delicious, and striking 5 Layered Dip Cups for your next SOLObration.

Ice cream sundaes: sweet, melty, and delicious. Oh, and did I say messy? We all know that ice cream gets messy crazy fast, especially in a cone.
