8. Chef Irie’s Cucumber Lemonade

Chef Irie loves his libations. This combination of cool cucumber juice with vodka, fresh mint leaves and simple sweetness could creep up on you. It’s only as strong as you make it, but it’s definitely an interesting island twist for your summer afternoon soiree.

9. Chef Irie’s Picadillo Meatballs

Chef Irie’s signature Picadillo Meatballs are an interesting twist on Latin Picadillo. The chopped meat mixed with ham, olives, spices and other seasonings, is usually eaten loosely or as a filling for empanadas and savory pastries. For his version, Chef has brought a hint of Italy into the equation, bathing the meatballs in a light tomato basil sauce. Serve with Chef Irie’s very unique Chayote Salad as a side.

10. Jamaican Jerk Chicken

The most popular way to finish the seasoned chicken parts or chicken wings, and the way we recommend doing it for the summer is by grilling it, sprinkling occasionally with Red Stripe or other available Caribbean beer. You can also try smoking it for a fall-off-the-bone tender texture or baking it for an easier finish.
