Cosmopolitan USA – September 2019

By JESSICA GOODMAN

Your sink is

your secret party

weapon

Only legends do this.

And you? You’re about to be a legend.

ALISON ROMAN, AUTHOR OF

THE UPCOMING COOKBOOK NOTHING FANCY,

throws *the best* parties. One of her

favorite tricks? Fill your kitchen sink

or bathtub with ice to create a very

convenient (and extremely chic) cooler. Try

it this weekend; just be prepared for

all your friends to freak the eff out over

your genius move.

FILL‘ERUP

Add enough ice

s o y o u r s i n k i s h a l f f u l l,

says Roman. Then

throw in a bunch of

wine, beer, and soda

t o s h o w y o u r g u e s t s t h i s

is where their BYOB

stuff goes. (They did

BYOB, right?!)

LEAVE

AFEW

As in, garnishes

and anything edible.

Set those up on a

nearby counter or bar

cart. Swipe any leftovers

right into the garbage,

and let any remaining

ice melt down the drain.

Cleanup, done.

Freaking brilliant.

DOA

Before going into

full party mode, scrub

t h a t b i s h r e a l l y w e l l,

says Roman. (You

know there are still some

nasty leftovers hanging

around!) Then plug

the drain so all

that ice and cold water

stay put.
