Your menu should have all the classics. Burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken. And a few veggie options too. Then add a fresh, crunchy salad, juicy fruit platter and chargrilled veg into the mix? Our bellies are rumbling.

Piña Colada: This one loves to lap up smoky tastes. It’s silky-sweet island air, notes of tropical fruit and a white rum blend that isn’t afraid to show its face. Our pick for the classics – like fired-up burgers or sizzling hot dogs. Dressed to impress – with all the trimmings.

Margarita: Sit this one down at the table and a real taste fiesta unfolds. Pair with juicy chargrilled chicken, in a chilli marinade? Its fresh lime laugh is perfectly geared to offset a fiery, flaming feast. With crystal, clear tequila in smooth harmony. Now, imagine that on an early summer evening.

Passionfruit Martini: Go outside the BBQ box – to Peru? Passionfruit Martini is our pick with a tart and sharp ceviche. Shrimp or veggie? It’s your pick. Anything that shimmies with its velveteen tropical fruit layers. An ode to its rainforest roots.

Let’s talk about BBQ ease. Because a well-prepped set-up means less time running around, and more time with a drink in hand. Our top 2 upgrades? A help-yourself station for condiments and drinks. It’s casual. It’s clever. It brings the wow.

The line-up:

• Classic crowd-pleasers: ketchup, mustard, mayo

• Fresh faves: sliced onion, tomato, gherkin, cheese

• A little extra love: homemade guac, a punchy relish. Or something new? Red pepper hummus.

Pro tip: Serve in little bowls or ramekins. Add spoons, tongs or mini forks. It’s all in the details.

When the party’s outside, the drinks should be too. A mini garden bar adds flair (and frees up fridge space). No fancy bar cart? No stress. Use a shady table – or wheel out a wheelbarrow packed with ice. Rustic-cool.

Your essentials:

• A mix of glasses: tumblers, wine, maybe a few flutes

• Your choice of drinks: wine, beer – MOTH cocktails?

• Garnishes galore: lime wedges, lemon peel, fresh mint. Find our top garnishing tips.

• Eco-friendly straws and tiny umbrellas

• And of course: corkscrew + bottle opener (don’t forget it!)

Nothing beats a blue-sky BBQ. But doing it all a little greener? Even better. As a B Corp, we do our bit to be kind and generous – the planet, as well as each other. That’s why our cocktails are infinitely recyclable. Just straight into the recycling it goes. Wonder what it’ll become?

You can read more about our B Corp commitments.

Sort it smart: Pop a recycling bin right next to your rubbish bin. Your guests will thank you – and so will the earth.

Reusable wins: Swap out disposables for reusable plates, napkins, and cutlery. Or go for compostable if you’re feeling fancy-but-kind.

Ice, ice baby: Freeze leftover fruit and herbs – they make perfect cocktail garnishes next time round. Waste not, wow more.
