Summer Entertaining Made Easy With These Smart Products

Disclosure: We received sample products to facilitate our post. All opinions are our own.

With only 8 weekends available to us, most of us do what we can to make the most of summer. Day trips, time spent outdoors, and lots of entertaining!

Guacamole, a summer staple, proves both easy to make and to wow your guests with. We recently discovered the ingenious Guac-Lock, which locks in freshness to prevent avocado browning. The container allows you to push up any unused guacamole to the perfect height where no air can get in, keeping your guac fresher longer, even when made ahead!

The Garlic Shake ‘N Press also helps us prepare our favorite summer foods – without having to smell garlic on our hands for hours afterwards! Simply shake garlic cloves in the vessel for easy – hands-free – peeling, and use the device to mince or crush the cloves.

Looking for an innovative tool to assist at the grill? With clever Clongs from Dreamfarm, reduce the risk of picking up surface-area germs that could be transferred to your food.

For healthy eating made easy, we love the Vebo! It’s an silicone vessel to wash your vegetables in, and even serves as a boiler and steamer, with its stay-cool handles.

Spink helps mitigate the risk of spilling our favorite summer beverages when outdoors. Place the beverage in the Spink, which suctions to a hard surface, for protection against spills!

Speaking of summer beverages, for something unique to serve at your next summer get-together, we love Pampelonne’s new refreshing sparkling wine cocktails, both low in carbohydrates and calories! Created with fine French wines and made with natural ingredients, they are then complemented with fresh and natural ingredients for a light and bright refreshment.

Our first choice is the Rose Lime, which features our favorite citrus flavors including passionfruit, ruby red grapefruit, and lime, and is light, crisp and refreshing! We also love the Blood Orange spritz, a classic spritz that packs a lot of flavor.

We hope these finds will help ensure many hours of happy, carefree summer entertining!
