Summer Bar Cart Essentials

01

Every summer when we arrive at Bald Head Island, I love to create a bar cart to keep on the porch signaling that summer is in full swing. The items included on the bar rotate as people come and go and as we find new snacks and drink recipes. There really are no rules…use what you have, be creative and have fun. The goal is to keep everything in one place so that you can easily have cocktail hour without having to recreate the whole thing every day! Keep scrolling for a fun video of how I set everything up and also a video showing how I make one of my favorite easy drinks!

Add tasty nuts, cheeses, veggies and hummus…whatever you love. A beautifully decorated bar cart filled with everything to make great drinks and delicious snacks is one of the easiest ways to entertain.

If you’re throwing a dinner party and using the bar for appetizers, you’ll want to serve this easy Citrus Shrimp for the entree along with Heirloom Tomato Salad with Charred Corn and Okra. Keep scrolling for both recipes!

    Love your bar cart ideas … it’s so easy to keep nuts or popcorn on hand. Voila … ready to welcome guests with a little nibble to go with their cocktail. xo

      I agree and who needs more than a nibble when dinner is being served! I don’t like to have too much of a temptation!

    Love the "Buzzed" napkins! Just put in my cart! Fun and unexpected!
