Fire up the Grill and Bring on the Cocktails!

You want to start by setting an atmosphere that will wow your guests. Create a playlist with some of your favorite summer tunes; nothing like a little Bob Marley or Jimmy Buffett to put you in the summertime mood! Use bursts of playful colors in a palette of lime green, honeydew, sunflower gold and watermelon pink to add fun to any backyard tabletop. For a finishing touch, scatter fresh flowers for a cool summer's night feel.
When it comes to serving food, make your barbecue family-style. Platters of lamb burgers, tuna burgers, cucumber salad with fresh mint, grilled fruit skewers and s'mores coffee and fudge ice cream cake will give your guests a break from the traditional menu of burgers and dogs.
Great drinks always inspire a fun party atmosphere. While you enjoy a refreshing Watermelon Vodka Cooler, the kids can sip on Sassy Pink Lemonade:
Watermelon Vodka Cooler
Serves 6
5 pounds seedless watermelon (about 1/2 medium-size watermelon)
16 ounces lemonade, homemade or high quality
12 ounces vodka
Watermelon balls for garnish
Cut the watermelon flesh into chunks. Working in batches, puree in a blender until liquefied. Strain through a fine sieve to remove the pulp. (You should end up with about 4 cups of juice.)
Combine the watermelon juice, lemonade and alcohol in a two-quart pitcher. Pour into tall, ice-filled glasses and garnish with a melon ball. Without the alcohol, this makes a great children's drink, too!
Sassy Pink Lemonade
2 cups sugar9 cups water
2 cups lemon juice
1 cup cranberry juice
Mix everything in a pitcher and stir until dissolved. Serve over ice.

Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing.
