A Tropical Themed Party for a Warm Summer Evening

A Tropical Themed Party for a Warm Summer Evening

We’ve been pretty lucky so far this summer weatherwise. It’s been a cool summer here in So Cal, but as usual, we are now entering the hottest time of the year.

I recently catered a birthday party with a menu designed to accompany Margaritas and Mojitos, the only drinks the client intended to serve. I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing I like better on a warm summer evening than a frosty Margarita. Here’s the tropical themed menu we served along with some pics from the party. Enjoy!
