Build a Summer Bar!

When putting together an outdoor bar, there are several ways to impress your guests! Keep reading for ways to build a summer bar!

First, begin with a flat, level, surface to use as your bar. I recommend using a bistro table or, if you have one, a bar table. You can even use an end table as well!

Second, I recommend placing a tray on top of whatever table/surface so as to protect your table! On top of this you can add your ice bucket in the back left corner, or just off to the left of the tray, depending on how big the tray is.

Third, Add bottles of your favorite liquor and/or wine towards the back of your tray in the center. Place your taller bottles in the back and your shorter bottles in the front. You can have as many bottles as you'd like!

Fourth, along the right of the side of the tray, add pitchers of your favorite summer drinks. I would recommend having Iced Tea, Lemonade, and Iced water! It is very important to have non-alcoholic drinks available for your guests. Not only will your friends and family appreciate it, if there are children at your party, they will thank you too!

Fifth, add stacks of cups in front of your ice bucket and cups of lemon and lime slices in front of them. For the slices, provide toothpicks or forks so your guests don't have to use their fingers.

Sixth, add some fun cocktail napkins!

There you have it! Your bar is set up!

If you plan on having soda, beer, etc. feel free to add a cooler filled with your favorite drinks!
