A Summer Soiree

I’ve been lucky enough to live on Lake Huron for most of my adult life. There are many benefits to having a lakeside residence, but one stands out above all others. Several times each summer, I throw epic parties on the beach. My friends and I lug the grill down onto the sand and we set up a bunch of tables. And the temporary bar is the crowning glory.

Since I’m happily married, I like to let my single friends handle the bar. As I’ve often pointed out, women are often impressed with a man who knows what he’s doing. With that in mind, you should never serve beer in a wine glass, or put an elaborate girly drink in a tumbler. This might seem like a small detail, but you’d be surprised how much a discerning drinker cares about minor touches. If I’m staking my party-throwing reputation on a particular soiree, I like to make sure everything goes off without a hitch.
