Throw a Tiki Bar Party!

Are you familiar with the musical South Pacific?

It’s a long time favorite of mine, and I love the tiki bar scenes~

Such a fun theme for a gathering!

On the Alabama Gulf Coast you can rent a floating tiki bar

for a party on the water~

But you can have a tiki bar party anywhere!

All you need is a few colorful decorations…

You can set up a “bar” at home, outside or inside

It can be on a counter or a serving cart

Even on a tray!

Pineapples and bright flowers bring an instant tropical feel

I like flamingos too, their pink colors and whimsical bodies

“Bloody Mary” is a fun character in the South Pacific play

and one of the scenes features her Bali Hai Bar

Serve fancy Bloody Marys in her honor!

This BLT BBQ Bloody Mary is garnished with a mini bacon,

lettuce & tomato sandwich skewer

You can even paint your own Bloody Mary Glasses

Be sure to offer another drink choice

like refreshing Creamsicle Mimosas

Of course, you’ll want some nibbles…

Hawaiian Party Bites

Sunshine Pineapple Bacon Dip

Sausage Ball Biscuit Bites

This Bloody Mary Bread Pudding is a great choice for brunch or lunch

Make a tropical fruit platter

by surrounding the top of a pineapple with cut up fruit

Coconut Pineapple Créme Brûlée is a light impressive dessert

Party Time!
