Twisted Tea-Infused Mighty Quinn’s BBQ Sauce is a real crowd pleaser. This sauce has a sweet and tangy taste infused with the mature flavor of Twisted Tea. Honestly, it’s a match made in summer heaven. The infusion offers a unique taste that’ll leave everyone talking about your food. This combo became might favorite way to dress up white meats for cook-outs. It gives you the tropical tangy feeling of being on a beachy vacation right from your home. It’s such an easy way to truly steal the show with your guest. No one will want to stop talking about how delicious this Twisted Tea infused sauce transforms those familiar BBQ tastes.

Okay, so stepping away from the grill we have to talk about sun protection. You can’t have a summer BBQ without protecting your skin. At these outdoor summer events it’s simply too easy to forget to reapply your sun screen. Well, there is a product that helps you see when it’s time to reapply to help us avoid those uncomfortable sunburns.

SpotMyUV is a patch you can wear that changes color when it’s time to reapply sun screen. It is the best indication to keep you or your loved ones from getting a sunburn. Having a BBQ and hanging out by the pool can be a lot safer with something as simple as SpoMyUV. This is just one of those things to never overlook because of its simplicity; it’s too important to forget about. SpotMyUV is convenient for everyone. Don’t take it for granted.

Rumi Spice — Saffron Threads

When you’re hosting a Summer BBQ, you can’t forget about the importance spices for foods. While Rumi Spice is an excellent source for unique and traditional spices, the one spice I want to highlight today is Saffron Threads. This spice can make your side dishes pop with such a fantastic luxurious flavor, your guest will rave.

This spice brings a much more unique take on a summer BBQ with being perfect for dishes like rice but that’s exactly why it’s special. Rumi Spice is a go-to source for excellent spices but Saffron Threads comes about with such a uniqueness to the BBQ scene that your guests won’t see coming. Its flavor is undeniable and what it’s used for will make your guest wonder why these dishes weren’t at their summer cook-out before!
