Memorial Day is the unofficial first day of summer so what better way to kick it off then to have a giant feast!

This week I’m joining 50 great food bloggers to bring you the ULTIMATE Summertime BBQ Recipe Collaboration! In the list below you’ll find all sorts of awesome BBQ recipes ranging from appetizers and side dishes to entrees, beverages and desserts!

But FIRST, let me introduce you to the Blood Orange Mocktail.

What’s a mocktail? It’s a non-alcoholic beverage that is perfect for anyone, especially preggos like me!

Not preggo and looking for a little fun? No problem - just toss in a shot of vodka to this recipe and you’ll be good to go.

You can serve this mocktail in 2 ways:

  1. Pour all juices in margarita glass and add in crushed ice.
  2. To get a really creamy drink, skip the ice and put in a big scoop of orange sorbet instead. Now you’ve got yourself a liquid dessert!

Either way you choose, you’re sure to love this drink throughout the summer and into the fall. Enjoy!

Blood Orange Mocktail

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 4 oz peach sparkling water
  • 2 oz blood orange Italian soda
  • splash of orange juice
  • crushed ice or scoop of orange sorbet

Directions:

  1. Fill margarita glass with pineapple juice, peach sparkling water, blood orange Italian soda and a splash of orange juice.
  2. Pour in crushed ice and enjoy!
  3. If you’re in the mood for a summer treat leave the ice out and take a cookie scoop and drop 3 balls of orange sorbet into your mocktail. You can thank me later! 😉

50 recipes for the perfect summer get-together! Whether you're planning a barbecue, picnic, or outdoor party, check out everything from appetizer recipes, entree recipes, cocktail recipes, dessert recipes, side dish recipes and more to go with your BBQ! #greatbloggerBBQ

  5. This looks so delicious! I am a firm believer that you need as many mocktails as cocktails at parties for any non-drinkers! Love this. Thanks for being a part of the Great Blogger BBQ!
