Elevate the sophistication level with elegent floral arrangements, freshly crafted signature cocktails and impressive stemware. And of course, don't forget to tell guests to dress to impress—this isn't your typical backyard cookout.

Vodka Lemonade

Celebrating during warm summer months? You’ll need more than beer to fight the heat. Designate this frozen treat as the signature sip. (Pro tip: Leave out the vodka, grenadine and curaçao for a nonalcoholic option.)
