It is usually said that when summer calls, man answers, but the answer must live up to it. For if summer calls for sun and fun, you must answer tiki and street food.
It doesn't matter whether yours is a chiringuito on the beach, a cocktail bar on the Navigli, a little place by the lake, a farmhouse on a breezy hillside, or the gathering of village friends on long summer evenings, because in this magical season it is always tiki time. The shapes and colors recall the tropical and exotic atmospheres of Hawaiian and Caribbean cultures, so we suggest you use them for cool, fruity, thirst-quenching drinks.
Hand-painted porcelain models are the most popular, but there are ones for all tastes, including glass ones for those who prefer the convenience of washing them in the dishwasher.
If tikis are not your style, don't fret, amazing tumblers are aplenty! Glazed mugs that look like something out of grandma's cupboard and ceramic jars that look like little flower holders are perfect designs for easy-to-drink cocktails that are also very social!
Summer also brings a healthy appetite for quick food, those grab-and-go cartons for all tastes: fresh and light, fried and tasty, best eaten in organic containers, perhaps made of pulp or environmentally friendly recyclable materials that we recommend you choose for your street food assortment.
If, on the other hand, you are a tapas and appetizer type consumed in the shade of a cool terrace, don't miss the option of serving your creations in small shopping baskets, miniature buckets, or small baskets that could be used for frying chips.
In short, summer brings advice, and what surprises are you bringing us?
