Bbq entertaining?!
Bbq entertaining?
my boyfriend and I love to entertain. tonight were having pizzas on the grill. i want to have another dish like a side dish. also, any easy drink ideas? the guys usually drink beer and my sister doesnt usually like really sweet drinks. I wanted to make a drink we could all enjoy any entertaining ideas?
Answers:
try grilling pineapple slices and serving them over vanilla ice cream
for a drink make mojitos:
3 fresh mint sprigs
2 tsp sugar
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 1/2 oz light rum
club soda
In a tall thin glass, crush part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside. Add the sugar and lime juice and stir thoroughly. Top with ice. Add rum and mix. Top off with *chilled* club soda (or seltzer). Add a lime slice and the remaining mint, and serve.
cokes and beers in a cooler.
for sides just make some finger foods.
For some reason...whenever I think pizza I also think either salad or chicken wings. Spaghetti works well too. As for the drink...wine. People rarely think of wine when it comes to pizza. Now, "they" say that red wine is where it's at when it comes to pizza. It goes well with the tomato sauce. A stiffer red wine will compete with whatever spices you may be using. Nevertheless, my favorite wine to drink with pizza is Pinot Grigio. Good Luck!
I agree with the wings and a salad. Try a Sangria for your drink.
Another dish to have with pizza I think would go over good
is a pickle dip. You know those pickle wraps or sometimes
called poodle peters that suck to make - well pickle dip is
great - easy - and people love it.

squash
caesars-- vodka, clamato juice, hot sauce, worchestershire sauce & don't forget the rimmer
Grilled pineapple is good, espically with a honey sauce.
What about Brushetta on grilled bread?
Or grilled cheese bites (with different types of cheese)
Grilled peppers are good as well.
I would go with a salad- they go best with pizza and for the drinks just go with some beers and maybe Mikes Hard Lemonade or fruit punch.
