Serving Summer Drinks
Decorations. Create alcohol-free summer cocktail recipes with fun straws and paper umbrellas. Sugared rims. Use cool drink cups like mason jars, or garnish the glasses with a rim of sugar. Use a bowl of lemon or lime juice and a bowl of sugar. Dip the rim of the glass in the juice, then into the sugar. Let dry. Carbonation. Add ginger ale or soda water to the mixture. Do not mix up carbonated drinks too soon. Cream. Add a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. Citrus. Add a spritz of lemon juice or fresh lime juice with the wedge on the rim of the cup. Herbs. Garnish with herbs like fresh basil or fresh mint. Fruit. Use fresh-cut fruit, berries, or even sliced cucumber in the beverage dispenser.
