Fresh Outdoor Entertaining
ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2026 / Best-selling author and culinary innovator James Briscione offers some fresh ideas for effortless outdoor entertaining as Americans embrace backyard gatherings throughout the season. From creative cocktails and seasonal recipes to convenient online shopping solutions, Briscione highlights practical ways to simplify hosting while keeping every celebration memorable.
SUMMER DRINK MENU
A fun way to shake up the summer drink menu is to start with something unexpected, like The Original Pickle Shot, a low-alcohol pickle-flavored vodka. Use it to make The Original Pickled Lemonade. It is the perfect cocktail for a backyard bash or any summer occasion! Available in Original Dill and Spicy Dill flavors, it is made with high-quality vodka and a proprietary pickle brine recipe. With no artificial flavors, colors, sugar, or gluten, and fewer than 40 calories per serving, it is refreshing and perfect for all summer entertaining!

A MUST-HAVE ON THE MENU
One of James Briscione’s favorite ways to elevate any menu is by adding unexpected ingredients. From appetizers and mocktails to BBQ sauces and desserts, Amaz!n Prunes and PlumGood from Sunsweet add unexpected flavor and freshness to every spread. Sunsweet Amaz!n Prunes are sweet, savory, and pair well with bold spices and smoky heat like these Asian-style ribs or grilled chicken with chipotle barbecue glaze. Sunsweet PlumGood is light and crisp, perfect for a mocktail made with soda water and a squeeze of citrus. For more information, visit www.sunsweet.com.
