A fiesta makes for a great summer theme party. A south-of-the border menu lends itself to some simple, no-cook recipes and delicious frozen drinks. I used the menu below for a summer fiesta theme party I threw on my roof-top. The menu was based on fresh, local ingredients that are at their prime this time of year. Check back over the next few days for posts with recipes and pictures.
