It’s not only grilling season, but summer cocktail season! Think margaritas, daiquiris, and all those frozen, whipped, refreshing, or just plain makes you think of summer cocktails (or mocktails).
To me, watermelon and summer are are perfect pair. Sweet and juicy watermelon tastes great on a hot, summer day.

I like to have a few appetizers and snacks around while we wait for the main grilled food to cook.
An easy one to serve is BBQ Beef Spring Rolls.

You can make the beef ahead of time. When it’s party time, assemble the spring rolls.
Soak the rice paper for about 10 seconds, add a spoon of filling and roll up. Deep fry for about 2 minutes and serve with extra sauce. Quick and easy.

Serve these rolls with plenty of napkins. Messy saucy food IS THE best!
