Your Grown-Up Summer Bucket List

Major bonus points if you make your way to a drive-in (search by zip code for the one nearest you, here). Feel like sticking closer to home? Create your own backyard screen, get your hands on a projector and cozy up on the lawn.

It doesn't have to be a literal swimming hole (although this one in upstate New York is awfully magical, wouldn't you say?), but you need to cannonball into something this season.

The balcony and beverage are up to you, but the pairing itself is a must: On at least one long, lazy summer evening, propose a toast for Daylight Saving Time.

With all due respect to public beaches and parks, you don't have to wear pants when you picnic at home — and you don't have to hide your cocktails. Gather up all that glorious summer produce, assemble your favorite finger foods and (don't) go to town.
