- Use decorative straws or cups - Turn this simple recipe into a festive activity by using decorative straws or St. Patrick’s day themed cups!
- Use fun ice cube shapes - Use ice cube molds to make these drinks extra fun! Shamrocks are perfect for St. Patrick’s day.
- Freeze lemonade into ice cubes - This is a great trick if you want to avoid your drink getting watered down! You can also dye the lemonade before freezing it for extra green color.
- Chill the lemonade before mixing - Starting with cold lemonade keeps the drink refreshing and prevents the ice from melting too quickly.
- Add food coloring slowly - Start with just a few drops and stir before adding more. A little goes a long way when creating that bright green color.
- Make it ahead for parties - You can prepare the lemonade mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a quick stir before serving.
