Whether you're a host or a guest for your 4th of July celebrations, there's plenty of delicious food to be had on this quintessential summer holiday. A day in the sun and a night full of fireworks aren't the only things you'll have to look forward to this year with appetizers, mains, sides, cocktails, and desserts as delicious as these!
What better way to serve a crowd than with a tall pitcher of tropical fruit infused Sangria! Assemble it the night before so you are ready to spread cheer as soon as guests arrive!
It isn't summer until someone busts out a watermelon keg, right?! Don't have a fancy tap? You can also carve the melon into a punch bowl and serve this refreshing beverage with a ladle instead.
Extra pickles, plz! Set out toppings galore and let guests DIY. A few of our favorites? Guacamole, kimchi, spicy aioli, pickled tomatoes & fried onions!!
Stretch this awesome entertaining idea even further by adding grilled steak and grilled portobello mushrooms so you can serve a crowd and a variety of eaters! Want more grilling tips with @zimmysnook, check out our interview with him here.
The holiday weekend would not be complete without one (or three) s'mores. We're running an Instagram contest right now with our friends at Ghirardelli so show us your s'mores! Click here to learn how to enter our Ghirardelli Summer S'mores Contest!
