Mangia Monday: Lemonade Bar/ Don Q Island Lemonade

What better way to beat the heat at a beautiful summer time wedding than to refresh your guests with a lemonade bar?  Decorate the bar with several glass dispensers to allow a variety of beverages and label them with decorative picture frames. The dispensers are a fun and easy way to create a relaxing summertime ambiance and it allows guests to help themselves.  Fill them with anything from classic lemonade for the kids to fruit infused water or a delicious lemonade cocktail recipe like this Don Q Island Lemonade recipe from Bevmo! on their blog. Not only is it light and refreshing, but it is also sure to get the celebration started.
