We really like to serve ours in mason jars for that extra country look but any glassware will do. Our kids just love this easy recipe and I think you will find your children begging for more as well!
I love to have fun straws on hand for the kids. Striped Straws, Polka Dot Straws
and even Chevron Straws
are some of my favorites.
These are especially fun at parties or showers. They really add a cute touch to the glasses.
Try this easy Pink Lemonade for parties.
For parties, I love to use one of these gorgeous beverage dispensers. The drink looks so pretty. If you have a few extra minutes, slice extra pineapple and lemon to float in the drink.
I love to freeze those slices before hand so that it keeps the drink nice and cool. It looks really pretty and doesn’t water it down like ice cubes.
This is also great for baby showers or bridal showers. The punch looks so nice and it is inexpensive to make. You can make a lot of lemonade and not break the bank.
Plus, it tastes so refreshing and delicious.
