Summer Essentials: A Beverage Dispenser 3 ways

This summer has been absolutely awesome. The weather has been SPOT ON. Sun, not a lot of clouds, very little rain…not great for my vegetable garden but stellar for my mental health. I find this type of weather very relaxing.

We’ve had several guests already visit us and every time I have a friend or group of people over, I set up a self serve bar for everyone to enjoy. To avoid having to refill pitchers I love my beverage dispensers. They hold so much and are so chic up on my bar. Here’s how I suggest using a beverage dispenser this summer…

HYDRATE:
The easiest way to stay hydrated is to drinks tons of water! Fill your beverage dispenser with water, ice and drop in some fruit slices (lemon, lime and/or cucumber) if you want to give it some flavor. Your guests can fill their cups and bottles and stay safe in the sun.

ENJOY:
Lemonade is my absolute favorite drink to serve in the summer. I do sometimes go through the trouble of making it from scratch. It’s pretty easy especially if you have an electric lemon squeezer or even a hand squeezer, but I’m also a fan of store bought lemonade when I don’t have time or the lemons to make it myself. Target often runs sales on their lemonade and to elevate it when entertaining, I add it to my beverage dispenser, fill with tons of ice and add fresh lemon slices and mint or basil!

GET THE PARTY STARTED:
My kids are gone to camp for the summer so we’ve been hosting our grown up friends and spiking our drinks as we please…
My husband loves ice tea which is another great store bought drink that serves up really nicely over ice in a beverage dispenser. Instead of the go to lemon slices you would normally think to garnish with, change up your citrus and make it orange slices! Add some bottles of your favorite liquor next to the beverage dispenser with a bucket of ice and let your guests serve themselves spiking their drinks as they like.

Being the last day of Amazon Prime day I sourced a couple beverage dispensers to share today:

Happy hydrating!
