Amp your next poolside party with these exciting flavors

Popzup Popcorn

Fill bowls with this hand popped, small batch, seasoned popcorn like Maple Cinnamon Toast or Cheese Herbie. The Family Size 5-pack of large popcorn bags is great for sampling all flavors and keeping the popcorn flow going during a party. A 3-pack Farmhouse assortment includes Cheddar Head, Truffle Butter, and Butter Me Up. Our favorite Popzup Cheddar Head popcorn is made with simple ingredients like real cheddar cheese, turmeric, and sea salt.  Perfect for the heat of the desert, you may find it impossible not to throw this light snack in the air to see if you can catch it in your mouth, like a kid.

Gourmet seasonings are also available, to use over popcorn or pretty much anything. Buy a popcorn kit or make your own popcorn, then let guests choose their own Popzup Seasonings to DIY their own poolside popcorn treat. Seasonings come in fun flavors such as Salted Carmel, Vermont Maple, Cheddar, Sweet Sriracha Chili, and Applewood Smoked Bacon. Pure and simple goodness with real dairy butter.

Find Popzup Popcorn online or at Bristol Farms and Rainbow Acres Natural Foods in California.

Salt and Straw Ice Cream

LA’s favorite ice cream hails from Portland, Oregon and always draws lines, but order a Party Pack or Ice Cream Bundle to have the creamy goodness delivered to your home ready for your next poolside soiree. The Party pack includes Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons, Chocolate Gooey Brownie, Strawberry and Coconut Water Sherbet, and more. Try a bestseller like Double Fold Vanilla, Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, or one of their unique ice cream creations like Pear and Blue Cheese or Arbequina Olive Oil. A great treat on a hot California day!

For a birthday, order their specialty Ice Cream Cake with seven hand-packed layers of rainbow-flecked yellow cake, Double Fold Vanilla ice cream swirled with blackberry jam, tangy cream cheese frosting, and, of course, sprinkles. Salt and Straw Ice Cream is the ultimate pleaser.

Magnolia Bakery’s World Famous Banana Pudding and Treats

We discovered Magnolia Bakery some 27 years ago in New York City in the West Village as the popular spot began in 1996. Known for their famous banana pudding, we were giddy when they arrived to a grand store on Melrose in Los Angeles. Then, their red velvet cake cupcakes became the next big hit. The little NYC shop drew lines as the sweet smell of cakes and cookies and pies and pudding tumbled out the doors. Like Magnolia Bakery said, “A dollop of buttercream makes everything better.”

Now you can get this sweet treat sensation delivered. Order a Sampler Pack to really wow guests with dessert bites like Best of Magnolia Bakery Baked Fresh Sampler Pack including 6 Classic or Variety Pack of the luscious Banana Pudding loaded with slices of fresh banana, vanilla wafers, and fluffy vanilla pudding. This pudding will change your life; it’s addicting!

Pour the banana pudding into a big bowl and let guests scoop their own dish or serve the pudding in small containers. Other pudding options include Red Velvet Banana Pudding cups and Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Pudding cups. The Sampler Pack includes a Brownie & Blondie Combo, with four buttery blondies and four chocolatey, chewy brownies. These can easily be cut into small pieces and served on a tray. Guests might even think you made them. Let Magnolia do all the work – check out their nationwide shipping and same day orders.

Roseade Spritzer (with a new pineapple lemonade spritz)

What to day drink? It’s Spritzer Season! The original Roseade ‘Rosé Lemonade’ Spritzer crafted in Australia in 2018 – made from premium Australian Rosé wine, hand-crafted traditional lemonade, and a touch of spritz – has been elevated, but this time with pineapple. Today this wine spritzer is made from top notch Lodi, California rose with freshly squeeze lemons and a hint of spritz. The new variety pack is also available with a third flavor – strawberry. Only 5 grams of sugar, and made with all natural ingredients, Roseade Spritzer is “just a better day drink!”

Find this #1 wine spritzer Roseade (according to Nelson data for the last year) online or Bevmo in Palm Springs. Look for the pink can celebrating Palm Springs. We suggest the Pineapple Lemonade Roseade 24-pack x2 or X3, delivered right to your home.

Yacht Life Caviar

To top off an extravagant pool bash, bring out the caviar on ice or better yet, a platter of potato chips with creme fraiche with a dollop of caviar. Serve Yacht Life Caviar poolside as a caviar bump, making sure to place it on guests hands between the curve of the thumb and pointer finger so the natural warmth of the skin brings out its aroma.

Yacht Life Caviar was conceptualized by Patrick Knowles, an acclaimed yacht designer and the visionary founder of The Quintessential Yachtsman. After spending decades crafting bespoke yachts for discerning clients, Knowles came to understand that true luxury is about more than extravagance; it’s about authenticity, connection, and an uncompromising pursuit of quality. He found inspiration in the rituals of yachting life: a cocktail on the sundeck at golden hour, the laughter shared under star-lit skies, and the exquisite bites that accompanied these moments. And one element always stood out—caviar.

Determined to redefine this iconic delicacy, he embarked on a journey to the source. Partnering with artisanal caviar farms renowned for sustainable practices and exceptional craftsmanship, he worked closely with producers who shared his passion for excellence. Together, they created a collection of caviar that encapsulates the spirit of the ocean—delicate, complex yet refined, and profoundly luxurious.

Today, Yacht Life Caviar is like a love letter to the sea, offering a taste of the unparalleled lifestyle it represents. For those who crave “A Taste of the Good Life”, Yacht Life Caviar is the ultimate indulgence.
