This is a simple way to let guests customize their drink by adding the flavors they prefer and it's a cute set up.
Choose your drink options - I went with Lemonade and Limeade, but you could also use pink lemonade or water.
Customize the ice cubes - I did not want to lemonade to get diluted when the ice melted, so I used a shallow muffin tray to make ice cubes out of the lemonade. You could also use ice trays and add a few fruit pieces to the frozen ice cubes for more flavor.
Choose your add ins - I used strawberries and blueberries to add to the lemonade and limeade. The options are endless; you could use raspberries, mint, or lime as well!
Add fun accessories - Serve the lemonade in decorative pitchers like this pretty yellow and blue glass one. I made signs using index cards and chalkboard stickers I found at the dollar store. I also picked up the adorable pineapple straws while I was there.
Serve the drinks in clear glass or plastic cups so everyone can show off their unique drink creation!

So, so cute! I love the idea of freezing the lemonade/limeade into ice cubes and offering different fruits to mix with them. I will have to keep this in mind for our next cookout.
ReplyDeleteIt was such an easy and refreshing drink for poolside!
DeleteI absolutely LOVE the heart ice mold using the baking pan! So cute! I would definitely choose Strawberry Limeade. All of my favorite flavors in one!
ReplyDeleteYes, the strawberry limeade is my favorite too! Confession...I could not figure out how to get the ice cubes out of the tray so I had to let it melt #fail
DeleteVery lightly spray with Pam before filling then sit the pan on a hot water soaked (wring it out) dish towel. Should only take seconds for cubes to loosen. Or you can flip the pan on a sheet tray and rub the hot towel over the bottom of the pan until they drop out.
DeleteI love lemonade in the Summer - and the cute idea for the ice cubes are awesome!
