Let’s Start With Food & Tableware.
The creamy, the spicy, and the unforgiving dips. There are so many to choose from- hot, cold, messy, or simple. We like simple.
Our Silipint Taco Dippers can be made and served from your own Unbreakable Half Pint. No messy prep dishes and the personalized serving size is perfect for double-dippers. Plus, our silicone drinkware is dishwasher safe, so clean up is quicker than your favorite running back!
7 Layer Silipint Taco Dippers (6-8 servings)
What You’ll Need:
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 container sour cream
- 1 jar of salsa
- 1 bag shredded cheese
- 1 can of black olives
- 1-2 tomatoes
- Handmade guacamole
- 3-6 avocados (depending on how many servings you’re making)
- 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper
- Tortilla chips
- Several Silipints (Half Pints, Pints or Bases will all work well)
How-to:
- First make your guacamole. Slice up avocados into a 16oz Silipint, squeeze half of a lemon and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Add more lemon to taste. Use a fork to mash everything, we like it chunky, but mash to your desired consistency.
- Next, layer your ingredients into Half Pints or Bases. Start with beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and then cheese. Then, relayer your ingredients as desired.
- Now you have the option to place these Taco Dippers in the oven. Silipints can be safely baked up to 450°F. So if you’re into the warm, gooey, hot taco dip, then toss these in the oven for about 20 minutes at 400°F, or until the cheese is bubbly and browned.
- If you’re tailgating outside in a parking lot – bring a camp grill and you can heat individual dips up on the grill grate. Silipints are free of BPA, BPS, and phthalates and are made of 100% food-grade, platinum-cured, FDA-approved silicone. They can be safely grilled as long as you avoid direct flames.
- Lastly, top them off with tomatoes, olives, and about 6 tortilla chips, and serve!
Getting Fancy With Your Drinkware.
A cocktail station is a big hit at Superbowl parties, whether you’re not a fan of the halftime show, or you’re just looking for a little something extra to bring your party to life. Plus, you don’t need to buy a bunch of fancy cocktail making components, colorful and festive Silipints that are already in your cupboard will work great!
Spicy Shaken Margaritas
What You’ll Need:
- 16oz Pint(Cocktail shaker component #1)
- 12oz Base (Cocktail shaker component #2)
- 1.5oz Shot
- Ice
- Shaken Margarita Ingredients:
- 2 jalapeños, seeds & end removed
- Salt
- Tequila
- Triple sec
- 6 oranges – slice into quarters (best way to get the most juice out)
- 4 limes – 1 sliced up into wedges, the rest can be halved
- Silipints – Serving size of your choice – Cupster favorite is the 12oz Base but you could also make mini cocktails in the 8oz Half Pints.
Prepping Your Cup:
Place the jalapenos in a food processor, once finely chopped, add to a bowl with your salt. This mixture will be your spicy, salty rim. Run a lime wedge around the rim of your 12oz Base, then dip into the jalapeno salt mixture. Place your cup on the side.
Making your margaritas:
- In your 16oz Silipint with ice add 3-4 oz of Tequila and 2 oz of triple sec.
- Then, squeeze one halved lime wedge and 3 orange wedges. Use those muscles to get every drip of juice that you can.
- Place a 12oz Base just inside of the Pint, hold from both ends and SHAKE!
- Add ice to your your 12oz Base and pour from the pint (squeeze the top of the Pint to keep the shaken ice from falling).
