Decorations. Use festive 4th of July straws or paper umbrellas. Set up a Beverage Station for an easy, fun way to store bottles and canned drinks when hosting your 4th of July celebration. Ice. Make star-shaped ice cubes. Add carbonation right before serving with club soda, tonic water, or Sprite, depending on your taste. Use fresh-cut fruit in the beverage dispenser/punch bowl. Berries like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries are classics. Sliced citrus is another pretty and flavorful fruit to add. Garnish the side of your cups with a fresh mint leaf or a slice of fruit like pineapple, lemon, or strawberry. Sugared rims. Fill a bowl of fruit juice and a bowl of sugar. Dip the rim of the glass in the juice, then into the sugar. Let dry. Use lemon juice, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, lime juice, or cranberry juice, or use a blend. Juices with the highest sugar content seem to work the best. Transporting drinks. Avoid filling punch bowls and pitchers with the beverage as many do not have secure lids. Save empty water jugs or fill large insulated beverage coolers with the punch. To serve, pour it into serving pitchers and bowls.
