How to keep summer beverages chilled
I have a pretty smart trick to keep your summer beverages chilled. Slice a bunch of lemons or limes. Place one slice of lemon or lime into each cup of a cupcake pan, pour water over the slices until they are just covered. Freeze overnight.
Then when you’re ready to serve your Easy Fruity Pink Lemonade pop the frozen citrus slices out of the cupcake pan and add them to the pitcher.
This is a great way to add extra flavor and to keep your Pink Lemonade chilled at the same time.

So fresh, beautiful and tasty! A few years back, I added a bag of frozen raspberries to a pitcher of lemonade…and had a few requests for the recipe. Such a wonderful combo 🙂
