Let's Get Toasty: How to Host the Ultimate Fireside Gathering

A fall-leaning, summer-clinging fireside guide filled with the drinks, snacks, and ambiance that can turn one simple night into a season-defining memory!

August and early September are peak fireside hosting season. It’s still summer-ish, but there’s a whisper of fall in the air. Golden hour hits softer, blankets reappear from closets, and before you know it… everyone is acting like they’re in a Nancy Meyers movie. Let’s make it a moment! 🍂

I’ve hosted my fair share of bonfires, backyard hangs, and s’mores stations that deserve a round of applause… and I’ve picked up all the tricks for turning a simple fire into the coziest celebration of the season.

So grab your softest throw blanket, something smoky in a glass, and let’s talk about:

• Fire pit setups (beachy or backyard?)

• S’mores (sweet and savory)

• Cozy hosting details people always forget (but not you, because you read The Sipper Club 😉)

• And multiple exclusive fall cocktail recipes that’ll make you feel like the host with the most toasted marshmallows

The rest is just for paid subscribers, and it’s packed with everything you need to bring the magic to your next gathering.
