Summery Snack Ideas For The Perfect Day On The Water

Nothing says summer like a day out on the boat with your family and friends. Since moving to the water, we have been soaking as much sun and boat time in as we can. There are so many fun spots in the city that we can get to by boat on the Potomac and we have been having a blast exploring them all.

Besides the company, the second most important thing to pack along on your boat trip is booze and snacks. Nothing is worse than being out on the water without food or drink. Since we’ve been out on the boat pretty much every weekend this summer, we’ve had a little practice packing the cooler.

Turkey + Boursin Sliders

Cut your buns in half and spread the Boursin on the top of the bun. Place two pieces of the turkey on the bottom bun, lettuce, and sun-dried tomato on top. Place the top bun on top and put a toothpick in the center of the sandwich to help keep them together! We love packing these sandwiches along because they are portable and small enough to eat in a few bites. Perfect for boating! 

Hummus Cups

Gold Fish Cups

Adult Boozy Capri Suns

Jalapeno Limeade Margarita  – Serves 4

-4 ounces Silver Tequila

-Sliced Jalapenos

*Just leave out the Tequila for a virgin option

Minty Vodka & Lemonade – Serves 4

-10 ounces Lemonade

-4 ounces vodka

-Sliced Lemon in Wheels

-Sprigs of mint 

*Just leave out the Vodka for a virgin option

Mix everything into a pitcher and stir. Pour into plastic ziplock bags and add in a lime wheel and 2 jalapenos to each bag. Stand up and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours to set. When you pull these out on th boat, they will be the perfect slushy consistency and ready to drink! Just add a straw!

Watermelon Feta Basil Salad – Serves 6-8

-Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:

Cube watermelon and place in a large bowl. Mix up the olive oil, balsamic, lime, salt and pepper together with a whisk. Pour over the watermelon. Add the feta cheese and stir. Add mint and give one last toss. 

This is my go-to salad when bringing a side dish to a friends house during the summer. It’s always a huge hit! Though this would be a great side dish on the boat as well because it’s so refreshing and has a hint of sweet and salty.
