Sizzling Summer Catering Ideas

Summer’s here and the party’s on! Here are some sizzling summer catering ideas to make your next party a memorable success and how to save time when planning a special event with professional catering.

21+ Watermelon Punch

Now, this takes entertaining to a whole new level. Cut out the inside of the watermelon and puree it. Add it back to the empty melon and then, add a generous portion of vodka. Fill nearly to the top with sparkling wine and add lime juice, simple syrup, and fresh mint leaves to taste. Punch a tap into the bottom of the watermelon and put the top back on to keep the bugs away. You now have an inexpensive drink tap that’s loaded with 21+ fun and the fresh flavors of summer. 

Shrimp Cocktail Martinis

If you want delicious seafood served in a creative and convenient way, you need to try this simple but impressive catering appetizer. Hang some juicy shrimp over the edge of a martini glass and fill in the glass with some tangy cocktail sauce. No time to cook? Order some of our addictive Spicy BBQ shrimp and apply the same technique, but fill your glasses with barbecue sauce. Now, that sounds like an appetizer to remember.

Summer Berry Cheesecake Salad

Cheesecake is the queen of comfort foods that is often associated with special meals. However, summertime presents a unique opportunity to make cheesecake a cool and refreshing treat. Try a summer berry cheesecake salad that will have your guests clamoring for more. Cut up a pre-made cheesecake into 1” cubes and add to a bowl. Fill with fresh, in-season berries and mix in a large tub of whipped cream to make this easy-to-eat dessert a new summer entertaining staple.
