The Fourth Of July holiday is just around the corner. Make 2017 a memorable one. If you live in the keys, invite family and friends to join you in the celebration. This year, head out and watch the fireworks from your boat.
Plan to leave the dock about an hour before sunset, then wow your guests with all your secret preparations.
As soon as you are anchored, crank up the radio and bring out an American flag. Hoist and fly it high and proud.
Turn on white twinkle lights you’ve adorned your boat with.
Next surprise guests with a spread of of carefully curated cocktails and food. Ice cold Budweiser’s in vintage red, white and blue cans or bottles, strawberry Daiquiris and blue margaritas. (See recipe below)
Then break out a bevy of appetizers, cuban sandwiches on a stick, Little Smokie’s sausages served with a cool blue cheese dipping sauce, jalapeno poppers and vanilla cupcakes topped with cream cheese frosting garnished with berries.
