The start of summer is around the corner with Memorial Day leading the way. It's known as one of the biggest BBQ weekends of the year, and what comes with a great BBQ? A great drink selection!

It has been a hard, long year for extroverts everywhere. However, we saw a rise of neighborhood street parties and small gatherings with close friends. What better way to bond with your neighbors and besties than an outdoor BBQ? If you are ready to invite everyone this year, go for it! Be safe and smart (and wash your hands), but it's time to toast to normalcy!

Choose a great drink for the kids and another for the adults and start planning that block party!
