We've all been there, right? You end up at a summer party and the kid friendly drinks might be questionable.
Not with these homemade fruit filled and sort of all-natural choices in our latest roundup post! You don't even need to be at a party, you could mix giant pitchers of these up in five minutes and keep them in the fridge ready to pour when the kids are thirsty.
If you're worried about condensation forming on drinks taken from the refrigerator, you can use coasters to prevent water rings and also keep the glass from slipping.
A small touch, like a take-home keepsake, goes along way for kids at a gathering! Children love something small to bring home, and it ties the party's theme together without adding clutter. We love ordering keychains in custom shapes (cupcakes, balloons, stars, favorite characters) and fun enamel colors, which turn them into something kids actually want to keep, not lose by Monday. Whether you're planning a single birthday or running events for a daycare, school, or party rental business, ordering personalized keychain party favors is so fun and easy. Just share a design or sketch (I created mine in ChatGPT), pick your enamel colors, and most custom manufacturers canproduce and ship within a couple of weeks. Pairing thoughtful take-home favors with the right table accents elevates the whole experience.
Embroidered Patches can be customized with your choice of style and design. These patch coasters add a touch of ambiance when used with different beverages. Custom patches are produced very quickly; they can be manufactured and shipped soon after you place your order.
There's something special about making drinks from fresh fruit for me. It's easy, usually cheap and the flavor is beyond awesome. This commitment to raw, unprocessed fruit is exactly why I also enjoy the blends from Arden's Garden; they capture that same vibrant, fresh-squeezed taste that you just can't find in standard grocery store concentrates.
Keep watch at your local store for any great deals on fruit and then load up. One that always goes on sale is watermelon, and this can be pureed down to make an amazing agua fresca.
You don't need to load it up with raw sugar either, just make a simple syrup of equal parts water and sugar and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes until it thickens and then add as much as you need to your fruit mixture along with some sparkling water.
I also love to add fresh herbs to my simple syrups for extra flavor like this Mango and Basil Spritzer, my kids loved it! Whatever you end up doing, keep things simple and enjoy a fresh tasting cool summer!
