Hot Take: Grill & Chill
Our Hot Take on how to elevate a backyard barbecue while still keeping laidback as the lead – equipped with perfectly-charred recipes, warm summer aesthetics, outfit inspo & more.
The Vibe
It’s summertime, and the livin’ is easy. Pale pastels and striped details add modern flare to the usual gingham while linen and levi’s round out the classic summer aesthetic. The goal is to capture the nostalgia of sunday backyard grill-outs at Grandma’s so string the lights, fire up the grill & add some charm to your chill.
The Food
We’re here to remind you that the grill is a hauste’s best friend – easy cleanup, versatile menu options and a crowd-pleaser through and through. The quintessential backyard barbeque side dish of grilled corn gets Martha-fied with fresh pesto and charred peaches while a grilled pineapple dessert serves as the sweet of the summer. Grab your denim apron & enter your grillmaster era.
Spiked sweet tea and cocktails in a can – these are the season’s sips at their prime. This Sweet Tea Sangria celebrates summer’s finest stone fruits in all their glory with sauvignon blanc and juicy peaches while the Cocktail in a Can brings Mexico to your backyard with a Michelada-inspired bloody mary that requires no glassware. Why serve plain-ole watermelon chunks when Mojito Watermelon Wedges exist? A little rum, flakey sea salt and fresh mint do the trick.
