Before I get into the recipe, here are some tips for serving the 4th of July drink!
Tips for serving holiday drinks
I wanted to share this drink station that my wonderful husband made for me. It’s a relaxing and fun place to put bottled water, juice boxes, and soda cans when hosting the 4th of July festivities.
You’ll notice buckets of napkins and other paper products on top, but you can easily put paper umbrellas or straws in one bucket, lemon wedges in another, and cups in a third. Place a small table with a beverage dispenser next to the “drink station” filled with refreshing homemade beverages.
There are many ways you can serve drinks. Here are some fun ways to make juice beautify:
- Use 4th of July holiday straws or paper umbrellas.
- Make extra juice and freeze it into ice cubes or ice cubes. You can even find a star-shaped ice cube mold. This way you can drink cold drinks without worrying about melting ice that will dilute the wine.
- Add carbonation just before serving.
- Use fresh cut fruit in beverage dispensers/punch bowls.
- Store extra punch in the refrigerator or cooler. Fill the beverage dispenser as needed.
- Freeze leftover juices into popsicles or make slush.
