Need Cocktail/Drink-Appetiser suggestions

[joeychen]

Yo! Scooter Rally next weekend, and it is a camping one up in Guernville on the river! We're also welcome to get there however we like, so being the cushy-assed camper that I am, I'm just gonna drive my truck up and bring all my camping acoutremont.

Because I'm bringing crap-a-plenty I figured it would be fun to put on a little cocktail hour, with a drink and a complementary appetiser. 
But I'm having trouble coming up with something! 
The drink I'd like for it to be relatively easy to make (altho I like the idea of mojitos, they can be hard to make, unless I perhaps do a whole pitcher sans ice)
For appetiser, it's gotta be something cold really. I'm camping, won't have stove, oven etc. 

I thought of where you do bread topped with mozzerella, tomato, basil and olive oil, but couldn't come up with a cocktail to go with it, I kept thinking Sangria cause it's kinda spanish/italian?

Then, there is the Sat night food, which will be a big luau (pork, chicken etc), so I could do something themed with that. Maybe some kind of fruit salsa, or prosciutto wrapped melon, but not sure what cocktail would go with that - mai tai, jungle juice?

whatcha got for me!

sangria is always good! And easy and cheap, since it can be made with inexpensive wine. if you want to mix it up you can do a white sangria.

for tropical, my can't-fail easy cocktail is vanilla vodka & pineapple juice. it's soooo good.

hmmm, this one being so easy is sounding like a winner!!
Have to see if Costco has pineapple juice and the flavoured vodka or if I have to get that somewhere else...maybe I should just let what Costco has available steer my choices! ;)
