smoothie bar: Everybody loves a
good smoothie. You’ll need plenty of ice, a good blender, frozen
Of course, if setting up bar involves just a tad more effort than you feel like expending, these easy drink options are easy to make for the masses, and always prove to be crowd-pleasers …
1 cup water, plus more to taste 1 cup sugar 1½ cups fresh-squeezed lemons or limes (~5-6 lemons, or 9-10 limes) Make a simple syrup by bringing the water to a boil, then stirring in the sugar until it dissolves. Let the solution cool to room temperature. When it’s cooled down, add the lemon juice, plus cold water to taste (you’ll need somewhere between 8 and 10 cups – bear in mind that the ice will melt and dilute the drink a bit, so don’t add too much water at this point). Serve in a pitcher with plenty of ice cubes, and float lemon wheels as a garnish if you’re feeling fancy. more lemonade ideas: 2 make a pink lemonade by adding a splash of cranberry juice 3 add crushed mint leaves for a refreshing, sophisticated lemonade 4 add pureed and strained strawberries or raspberries for a tart berry-flavored beverage
good rootbeer good vanilla ice cream straws long spoons straws Place two to three scoops of ice cream in each glass, and fill carefully with rootbeer. Pour slowly – the rootbeer will foam up, and it’s all too easy to make a mess if you’re impatient. Wait for the foam to subside a bit, then add more rootbeer. Serve with a straw and a long spoon. ---------------------------> lounge . nourish . host . laze . home . |

bananas and an array of pre-washed,
pre-cut, ready-to-go fresh fruits (strawberries, peaches, blueberries,
pineapple, mango are all yummy). Naturally, big glasses and straws are a
must.
