A backyard bash where margaritas (and maybe margaritas with watermelon popsicles) flow freely, popsicles drip, water glistens from the pool, and hot dogs sizzle on the grill. It’s a laid-back, nostalgia-packed fiesta with poolside sips and sticky-fingered snacks.

Throw this backyard hang at this outdoor resort-style oasis.
