Ah, summer. Time for fun with family and friends. I love throwing easy, relaxing themed get-togethers. Tea Parties are one of my favorites. Of course, for summer that means refreshing, ice cold tea.

Tea parties can be a lot of fun! You can hold a tea party anytime of day. Stage one for the perfect brunch, dinner or warm summer night fun.

Tapas or appetizers are often my go-to choice for food. Everyone can pick and choose what they want to try.

Offering a variety of tea adds to the excitement.

I love to give my guests a selection. Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea comes in five delicious varieties made from black, green and rooibos tea.

• Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea Unsweetened
• Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea Sorta Sweet
• Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea Sweet
• Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea Sorta Sweet Honey Green Tea
• Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea Rooibos

You can feel confident serving your guests Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea. Every Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea brings you true tea taste from all-natural ingredients. I love that Snapple® makes several levels of sweetness, too. No worries, there will be something for everyone to enjoy!

I also love the new, sleek bottle design! Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea bottles are easy to grip and have a sturdy base that’s perfect for parties.

Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea Sorta Sweet Honey Green Tea with a touch of honey and Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea Sorta Sweet Rooibos, blended with refreshing South African rooibos are now here for your enjoyment.

I chose to mix it up for this tapas party.

I’m offering something a little spicy with Spicy Crab Spread. This spread blends juicy crab meat, cream cheese, jalapeño peppers, horseradish and more served on garlic crostini.

A light canapé of cucumber topped with velvety Avocado Mousse is a great summer combo.

Mini Quiche are easy to make and you can personalize quiche with a number of add-ins. I mixed it these up with herbs, mushrooms and several kinds of cheese. You can add meat like ham or bacon or even seafood! Combine your choices any way you like.
