Shrimp pasta salad served with crackers and spreadable cheese.
Take birch beer, root beer or cream soda and add a nice quality whiskey or scotch to it with some ice.
Don't skimp on quality. Shit liquor makes for shit mixed drinks, no matter what anyone says.
Trust me on this.
We go for full-tilt fruit salads. Melons, cherries, Mandarin orange slices, grapes, bananas, everything. Put in a large bowl, add a little heavy cream and grab spoons!
Mustard vinaigrette potato salad. Keeps in any temperature and tastes light and delicious.
Don't know.
But I'm I big fan of crushed ice, not so small that it'd be Slushy consistency, but small enough to fit in your mouth to suck on between sips.
It can be almost anything, but mixed drinks, even cranberry juice with orange juice, with a splash of ginger ale, are better. They shpould be refrigerator cold.
