The first day of summer is right around the corner, and with the change in season comes a whole host of new catering trends. Even just one of these tasty morsels and drinks will take your event from good to great.
- Ice Pops Ice cream is a staple on the summer event circuit, but ice pops can take it to a whole new level—and we’re not talking about grape, strawberry or cherry. Flavors can include salted caramel, mango and cheesecake.
- Canned Cocktails Craft cocktails have become quite popular in the past few years, but craft cocktails in a can put a special twist on drinks. Your event’s signature drink can be premade in a can tailored to your soiree. It’s something guests will swoon over and another way to add branding to your event.
- Classic American Comfort Food Anything that evokes the sense of American summer will be top of mind this season. Food will include hot dogs, hamburgers, macaroni and cheese and, of course, apple pie.
- Think Mini Tiny desserts are always a hit, but this summer watch out for all of your favorites to be perfectly bite-sized. Small chicken and waffles, mini shrimp cocktails and even tiny lettuce wraps will make your event extra special.
- Matching Drinks Combining drinks with mini food is another way to incorporate your event’s theme and allows you to follow summer’s bite-sized trend. These combos can include paella with mojitos, tiny tacos with margaritas and mini Cuban sandwiches with Cuba Libres.
