Foodie Friday: Summer Cocktails & Appetizers

{ Via: Tiffany La Belle }

Don't we all aspire to look like Tiffany's lovely lady above, while having a cocktail? Tiffany's illustration, which you can actually  purchase, inspired this post. I love Summer evenings with a good sunset,  a chic cocktail, and a beautiful bite. It's all one really needs on some occasions. This roundup features fifteen fabulous recipes that will quench your thirst, and tickle your tastebuds. Enjoy and cheers!

 

Aperol Spritz
The perfect light and fruity Summer drink. It's also elegant, bubbly, and very easy to make.
Broma Bakery

Peach Brie Pastry Tarts with Peppered Rosemary Honey
This recipe is everything that we want in an appetizer. They are quick, easy, and everyone loves them. What more can you ask for?
Half Baked Harvest

Tomato and Peach Flatbreads with Basil
What a pretty platter these will make! The base is Noon bread, and you grill it before assembling.
My Recipes

Blueberry Ginger Paloma

Truth be told, I have never had a Paloma, but they always look so good to me. The addition of blueberries and ginger really add the the perfect punch to 
this cocktail.
Heather Christo

Crudités with Chive Crème Fraîche
If you really want to social distance this summer, serve this. There will be no double dipping happening, but a whole lot of elegance.
Williams Sonoma

Pink Vodka Watermelon Lemonade
Lemonade and vodka are a delicious duo. Add some watermelon, and you have the perfect lazy day libation!
Half Baked Harvest

Herbed Goat Cheese Dip
Just what you need when you are in a hurry. This recipe comes together in five minutes. And it's made with plain non fat yogurt, so it is 
somewhat healthy!
What a Girl Eats

Watermelon Salsa
Give me all of the watermelon recipes please. Not being much of a fruit eater. this is the one that I can eat at every meal. This recipe is light enough to eat on a chip or spread on almost any dish, especially fish!
The Girl Who Ate Everything

Summer Campari Sangria
Sangria just screams hot Summer days and evenings to me. I love making it, and by that, I really mean that I love taste testing it. This recipe features citrusy notes with lemon juice, orange juice and Cointreau. Of course the star of the
 show is rosé. Yum!
Inspired By Charm

Fig and Mascarpone Cracker Appetizers
A very simple Summer appetizer recipe that can be put together in a flash. It calls for a specific cracker (which looks delish) but feel free
 to use what is on hand.
The Seaside Baker

Shrimp and Scallops with
 Lemony Soy
The Japanese style marinade works very  fast with a combination of  tart citrus and salty soy sauce.
Food And Wine

Pineapple Peach Agua Fresca
This cocktail is sure to refresh you on Summer's hottest days and nights. It's not super sweet, but if you are a fruit lover, it will hit the spot.

How Sweet Eats

Mini Lobster Rolls
Aren't these the cutest things ever? Mini brioche hot dog buns create the look with the perfect ratio of buttery bun to lobster meat.
Pure Wow

Prosecco Peach Spritz
Balsamic vinegar adds a tart splash to this sweet bubbly drink.
Half Baked Harvest

Mexican Street Corn Dip With Avocado
The perfect summer dip. It's like eating grilled corn on the cob, without the mess or kernels in your teeth. A dash of sriracha gives it a kick.
