Socially Distant Gatherings: Turn Your Backyard into a Drive-In
In this socially distant summer, entertaining isn’t what it used to be. But one old-school activity has made a big comeback: the drive-in. Alfresco movie viewing is an ideal way to maximize the last days of warm weather, and it’s an easy way to socialize safely with your pod. Here’s what you need.
The Movie
Set up a projector with a white sheet or simply use a wall. We’ve been binging throwbacks in quarantine: ’90s comedies and campy action flicks make for great group viewing. (No projector? Get creative by reading a play or screenplay together. ) Don’t forget to set up seats a safe distance apart.
The Cocktail
Being at home does have its perks. If you want to experiment with mixology, start here: Light and refreshing Easy Breeze cocktails make for a crisp cinema sipper and are a cinch to make. Just fill a rocks glass with ice, add equal parts Absolut® Vodka and cranberry juice, and finish with an orange wedge. Crafted with natural flavors and fresh ingredients, Absolut® Vodka is a great base for all kinds of cocktails, from the simple to the elaborate. Serve your Easy Breezes premixed in a thermos for safe refilling, then sit back and enjoy the show!
The Concessions
We swear by this technique for movie theater popcorn flavor, but we also love to have fun with fancy variations like matcha and dark chocolate with sea salt. Add your favorite candy—the sourer, the better in our humble opinion—and serve everything in individual snack packs to keep things clean.
