Summer time in NYC is the land of cocktails and food on the rooftops. Companies in the big apple, even give you Summer Fridays (a benefit where you get Fridays off or half day) so you can enjoy the summer fun. If you have a rooftop you are the cool friend on the block. We actually called my roof, “Rooftop Island” lol. If you can’t join me for my rooftop island parties here is a menu you can make so you can party like a New Yorker. Everything below is quick, make-ahead and no fuss just all the reward.
No Fuss and Made For “A Crowd” Cocktails
DRINK TIP – Both drinks allow you to party and not pour for your guests all night! For the Beer Cocktail, leave a sign on how to make this super simple drink (just fill glass half way with this and half way with that – cheers!). In NYC we find a friend with a rooftop and hang – so easy is a must so we aren’t going back and forth to the apartment!
