Go to outdoor/pool snacks

What are your go to snacks you put out when you invite guests over for a BBQ? More asking bc I have a pool so when we invite friends over we tell then to come early to swim a few hours before we grill. I have a bunch I always put out but getting bored so wanted new ideas. Drinks too.

This is my usual...

Stacy pita chips
Lime tostitos
Veggie sticks
Goldfish (for kids and some veggie sticks on their table too)
Carrots and peppers
Hummus
Mango salsa
Grapes
Beer
Sangria and if I don't make that its wines
Honest organic juice boxes for kids
Water with lemon in a pitcher


This is the usual before grilling since friends hang out about 3 to 4 hours before grilling

Any other ideas? Something new or different?
We have a fridge outside so convenient to keep the Joyce boxes and beer.

I like to make bean dip (a bunch of kinds of beans, red pepper, red onion, cilantro, garlic, white balsamic, olive oil) with scoops.

I also like spinach dip with veggies, though not on a really hot day.

Sometimes I do caprese skewers because they are easy to eat and refreshing.

Those are all good ideas. When we do this, we usually do a couple dips, fresh guac, maybe some fresh mozz/tomato/basil.
