Strawberry — an early summer fruit — combines with basil and watermelon, common mid- to late-season bounties, for a stacked appetizer. A toothpick skewers the fruits while feta cheese and a basil leaf add salty creaminess. Serve as seen, or consider adding to a cocktail drink using a longer skewer.

Watermelon Margarita 

Tequila makes for an adult alternative to traditional watermelon recipes. Liquor and lime juice add a bit of zest, and simple syrup can be added for any not-quite-ripe fruit, though you may consider infusing the syrup with mint or basil for a richer flavor. Learn how to make your own watermelon margarita via Pretty Plain Janes.
