Are you guys all hanging in there with the sweltering heat? I feel like this is the best part of the year in Seattle, and Ideal weather for throwing a party!
I hope you have a ton of fun plans and amazing menus that you are going to be cooking up over the next 6 weeks of Summer!!!
If you are looking for some summer inspiration, here are some ideas:
Make a Rainbow Crudite Platter to start!
Or maybe these Zoodle Fresh Rolls with Mango Tahini Dipping Sauce
then, how about some
Blackberry Hoisin Barbecued Chicken
Sweet and Spicy Plum Serrano Ribs
Tomato Peach and Avocado Salad
Red White and Blue Potato Salad
Probably the cutest cocktail EVER, and definitely, without a doubt, the most fun. Also- they taste really good and will be DANGEROUS (in the best kind of ways!) for you and your friends.
I recommend making the recipe (preferably in bulk) and putting it into a pitcher and then pouring them into the mini watermelons as though they were the guests glasses (obviously, you only get one watermelon each!!). Maybe they need nametags!? And then fill the mini watermelons with ice cubes and pour the heavenly tequila concoction over the ice. You can refill as needed!
- 4 cups watermelon chunks
- 2 limes juiced
- 1 cup pitted cherries
- 1 tablespoon agave
- 4 ounces tequila
- ice and mint
- Combine the watermelon, limes, cherries, tequila and agave in a blender and puree on high until frothy. Pour into glasses or into a hollowed out mini watermelon and serve with ice cubes and fresh mint leaves.

What a fun drink!
Thank you Maria!
Ummm, this is ridiculously genius!! I want one all to myself 🙂
That is the only way to drink them Gerry!
Is it wrong that I want to sleep this weekend? And chill, no plans? I’ll happily take this drink though. Shall I come over?
NO- nothing wrong with that and YES! Come over anytime!
Oh yes! This is most definitely dangerous and 100% happening this weekend!!!
Yay!! Thanks Rachael!
I’m going to make this for 4th of July – love this fresh cocktail!

Thank you Lexi!
I love that this is served in a mini watermelon! So fun!
Thanks Erin! I love how cute those little melons are!!
Now THIS is one epic cocktail!
way too light on the tequila, 6 oz. minimum which is only a jigger per cup +.
Great Wayne! I’m all for adding more!
this cocktail is everything i this weekend!
Prettiest watermelon bowl ever!
This watermelon cherry tequila bomb is so good, man! I am glad that I can drink this tequila now that I have all the ingredients for it. I’ll make it as soon as I get free from working on my project. That will take some time, though.
Thank you Greg!!
