Porch Entertaining

The turn of the weather and longer sunshine days brings us outside to the front stoop, porch or backyard to take in the season and sip on the timeless Southern tradition of classic iced or sweet tea. Spring, in the South is the perfect time to get outside, unwind and pass the time with family and friends. We’ve put together a few iced tea classics, tea-cocktails (and mocktails) as well as simple party-ready finger sandwiches and sides to make entertaining a breeze. Pair a refreshing glass of iced tea with a porch swing, let the kids run around, and watch the world go by.
