Can you believe it is the last weekend in July? Where has this Summer gone? There is still plenty of time for Summer parties, though. In fact, my need for a recipe for a "Big Chill" weekend with friends led me to this edit. Of course, I want to bring something unique and delicious. If you are planning your own Summer soiree, think about offering a signature cocktail. Everyone will want to try your chic concoction. Cheers to an endless Summer!

Lava Flow Cocktail
Made with Malibu Coconut Rum......if you haven't tried it, you are missing out on a tasty treat. The juicy red color is from frozen strawberries. The swirling white liquid is cream of coconut. Bartender, please!
Crostini with Arugula Pesto, Blue Cheese and Fresh Figs
So summery, attractive and easy! This awesome appetizer can be whipped up in no time. I have never made pesto with Arugula, but its' green and peppery flavor should work very well.

Giada's Italian Piadina with Fontina & Prosciutto
Italian for "flatbread," Giada says: ".... this is a lot like pizza, except the crust doesn't rise and it is typically cooked on the grill....." Without a sauce but still with fabulous flavor, this looks like one awesome appetizer.

Kiwi Mojito

Sweet ripe juicy peaches team up with spicy Serrano Chili's. It is said that every sip provides a "sweet and delicious burn." Sounds like happiness to me!
BBQ Brie
Now why haven't I thought of this? What makes it special is a lovely coating of chili powder, cumin, garlic salt and thyme that is mixed with olive oil and lemon juice. Yummy! And yes you put it on the grill!

Simple Michelada
There's always a beer drinker (or 10 in every crowd) This cocktail adds some chic to the can.
