For burgers, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F for well-done, and remember to let the patties rest before serving. Toast the buns on the grill for an added crunch. For hotdogs, grill until they're heated through and slightly charred, usually 5-7 minutes. While manning the grill, enjoy a Nutrl Lemonade Hard Seltzer! For finger foods, create a colorful veggie tray with carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and a creamy ranch dip. Cheese and cracker assortment with sharp cheddar, creamy brie, and spicy gouda, paired with a variety of crackers will be a hit. Sweeten the deal with a trail mix featuring M&Ms, almonds, and dried fruits. Summers call for the vibrant and refreshing taste of rosé wine! We recommend Anne Pichon Rosé. Its aromatic bouquet and crisp finish make it a great summer drink, perfect to sip while enjoying the sun and good company. Try it with a platter of smoked salmon or fresh strawberries to complement its fruity undertones. Learn more about rosé and sparkling wine in our recent blog!
