Keep Your Vibe Chill on Steamy Days

In these steamy days of summer, don’t let your serving style become stagnant. Turn your gaze to the details to keep the cooking and cocktail vibe chill.

While big changes aren’t easily accomplished now, a focus on the space you can control will perk up the party. Here, we've crafted our own custom bar cart, made from red mahogany with black hardware, to add some dazzle to the deck. It’s a festive addition on most evenings with the variety of food and spirits it displays. It looks like a party-in-waiting, and who doesn't enjoy the thought of that?

You don't have to be an expert craftsman to liven up your space. If you're hosting close friends, colleagues, or re-opening your private gathering areas, take a dive into the details. Simple entertainment options like the straw in your glass, the texture of the bowl, and your tumbler choice are all subtle ways to set a new scene. Even your garnish pick can have pizzazz, choose a bamboo knot or upgrade to hammered steel for the olives. Have you tested a new beverage with fizz or seasonal tonic? (We just ordered from Seedlip to explore a non-alcoholic option.)

Yes, the days are steamy, but your summer serving style doesn't have to wither. Keep the creative juices flowing and look for ways to make a splash.
