A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I had partnered with PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur to host a “Summer Patio Party” in celebration of their BIG summer Pinterest contest going on this month. PS – Have you entered yet?! I’m back today to share the photos from my Patio Party, along with a couple fun food ideas, and a fabulous cocktail recipe from PAMA.
I invited my guests for the Summer Patio Party using my BBQ party invitation – I love the casualness of it, and the color palette it set for the party – black, white, yellow, red and a touch of green. I set the patio table with a sunny assortment of sunflowers, woven charger plates, green melamine plates, and black and white buffalo check napkins. To add a little twinkle to the table, I placed votive candles into mason jars filled with green lentils.
I served up one of PAMA’s signature cocktails – the Summer Fling! To make serving simple, I premixed my cocktails and placed them in capped bottles, making it simple for guests to help themselves. I add to the summer-casual-feeling, I served them up in glass mason jars as glasses.
To make your own PAMA Summer Fling Cocktail, follow this recipe:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Tequila
- 1/4 cup PAMA
- 12 oz Peach nectar
- 1/4 cup Lime juice (2 large limes)
- 1 tbs thinly chopped fresh basil
Instructions
Stir all ingredients together in a large pitcher. Pour into a re-sealable 600ML bottle. Chill until ready to serve. Can be made up to 1 week in advance.
PS – they have all kinds of fabulous recipes on their website – you can check them out here.
In addition to our burgers and brats, I served corn on the cob on popsicle sticks (I stood them up in a galvanized container, making for a charming presentation), and my favorite go-to summer appetizer: watermelon, feta and basil stacks, drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The sweetness complimented our PAMA cocktails perfectly!
I sent guests home with a little popcorn bag, dressed up with a gingham check sticker.
