Summer Party Tip

Yeah - summer is almost here and we are almost through the craziness that is "MAY!!!" (Does every Mom feel this way? The schools, sports, etc. pack sooooo much into this month!)

As I was preparing for a party, I was reminded of how much impact "the details" have on a party. And often they are the simplest things! I came across one of those and wanted to pass it on:
Fruit Juice Ice Cubes!!! I know - sounds ridiculously simple - but ohhhh so fun and you will be surprised at the reaction from your guests.

I typically use a red juice like cranberry or cran-raspberry. I just freeze the juice in rectangle ice trays - but you could purchase a shape that matches the theme of your party for extra fun.

I start a few days to a week in advance, so I can take my time and every day or so fill and empty them. I store the cubes in gallon freezer bags until party time.

I like to use them in non-alcoholic drinks with lemon-lime soda or lemonade. Or you can enjoy them in mixed drinks such as vodka and orange juice or lemonade and Canadian whiskey. The red cubes look so pretty in the light beverage as they melt.

Here's Hoping Your Summer Parties are Filled with Great Laughs and Great Friends!
Take Care,
