refreshing

while Emma and Natalie were being productive, i was hanging out by the grill this past weekend. it was perfect grilling weather! i say hanging out because i find the recipes and make my husband do the work - don't let him in on my secret!

lately i have been looking for some refreshing drinks to add some summer flavor to meals or simply just to drink on their own. here are some great ones that are super easy and so colorful that they look like summer in a glass!

 
strawberry basil bellini
 
Pear Vanilla Sparkler

 peach & lavender lemonade
*also amazing with just mint and blueberries

 Watermelon Soda Float

okay okay so i know it's more of a dessert, but doesn't it sound amazing?!


while you are at it - why not get creative? set the drinks (and even food) up as a small display or add some fun little details? here's a little inspiration to get you going. i am hosting a joint grad party soon for my sister and husband so i definitely might be putting some of these ideas to use!

 or any piece of furniture with drawers. can you imagine a bucket or basket full of glasses or pop bottles?

 put the drinks on a tray of some kind - instantly makes things fancier

 colorful straws always add a nice finish and look great just sitting on the table too!
