Baseball season has officially started, which also means summer is around the corner with cook-outs and hang-outs. As America’s favorite pastime, baseball makes a great theme for any summer parties, with easy décor, food items, favors and so much more.
Here are a few ideas to get you start with your summer party:
“HOT DOGS! GET YOUR HOT DOGS!”
Offering a hot dog station at your party is a great way for guests to feel like they’re at the ball park. Give guests many fun options to choose from beyond your basic condiments: salsa, bacon, chili, jalapeno slaw, corn avocado relish, etc. It will have their mouths watering.
THE GOLDEN GLOVE COCKTAIL
A close cousin to the daiquiri, after a few of these cocktails your guests singing the 7th inning stretch in no time.
Ingredients:
2oz white Rum
1 tsp cointreau
.5oz lime juice
1 tsp sugar
Directions:
Add all the ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake and strain into a rocks glass with crushed ice. Garnish with a lime half-wheel.
OUT OF THE PARK
For centerpieces, you can get creative with baseballs, bats, gloves, green paper shreds, or faux grass to give the baseball field feel. And no baseball game would be complete without peanuts or Cracker Jacks, so they are must during your party.
Happy baseball season!
