How to Create a Kitchen Lemonade Bar | Summer Decor & Drink Ideas on a Budget

Описание: Hi sweet friends! I'm so happy you're here! Today I'm sharing something that brought me so much joy to create—my Kitchen Lemonade Bar. It’s bright, it’s budget-friendly, and it’s packed with ideas that you can use to bring a little summer sunshine into your own home.

In this video, I’ll walk you through:
How I turned my spring tea area into a charming lemonade setup
Easy Dollar Tree DIYs using crates, jars, and ribbon
My go-to lemonade and iced tea drink station with bottle labels
Fun mix-ins like honey sticks, lemon packets, and instant teas
Cute favor boxes filled with my Sunny Sip Snack Mix
Two easy summer drinks: a cocktail and an Arnold Palmer
A cozy coffee and tea corner with lemon mugs and chocolate bar favors
Sweet and simple printable games like Lemonade This or That and a Memory Match Game
A FREE lemonade sign printable you can use for your own setup!

Everything was created with love using items I already had, a few affordable finds, and some light crafting to make it all feel special—without the stress. Whether you're putting this together just for yourself, a quiet summer gathering, or a day with the grandkids, I hope this video inspires you to have a little fun with it.

2oz. of Lemonade
2oz. of Coconut Rum
1 oz. of Apple Juice

Shake and pour into a nice glass. Serve with a cute straw or umbrella

Sunny Sip Snack Mix
Ingredients (balanced + no tropical fruit):
• Honey-roasted almonds or cashews – warm, toasty flavor
• Dried cranberries or golden raisins – tart and sweet (no mango!)
• Mini yogurt-covered pretzels – creamy crunch
• Golden Grahams or Cinnamon Chex – mellow cereal base
• Mini marshmallows – soft & sweet
• White chocolate chips or butterscotch chips – decadent touch
• Color pop option: pink or yellow M&Ms or candy-coated sunflower seeds
Optional Add-ins (if desired):
• Salted popcorn (light, airy, unexpected!)
• Plain Cheerios for a subtle crunch
• Tiny graham cookies or Teddy Grahams for charm

Assembly Tips
1. Mix all ingredients gently so softer items like marshmallows stay fluffy.
2. Portion into small cello bags or 3-oz treat cups with lids.
3. Tie with twine or ribbon, and add a label like:
"Sip & Snack Mix”
“A Little Something to Munch With Your Lemonade”
“Sweet & Simple Summer Snack”
