How to Host a Backyard Summer Party

If you’re anything like us, summer automatically brings out the hostess in you. But before you simply fill a cooler with cans, college-style, take note of a few key entertaining ideas that’ll take your shindig up a notch:

Step 1: Chill your glasses ahead of time. It adds an “I know what I’m doing” touch.

Step 2: String up some globe lights. The people love ’em.

Step 3: Mix up two classic punches using Dole® Canned 100% Pineapple Juice: Mai Tais and an All Day Fruit Cooler.

Step 4: Get those glasses out of the freezer and start serving. Festive garnishes optional, but encouraged.
