Vintage YoT: 4th of July Beverage Bar

Hi! These next couple weeks I’m sharing some ideas for celebrating the 4th of July.

When I put these projects together, my plan was to use pieces I already had, things that were free or items that are available at the grocery store (as much as possible).

4th of July Entertaining

Setting up a beverage bar outside can encourage guests to stop and chit-chat, and having a special drink available gives them something to talk about. Watermelon Margaritas are the perfect warm weather refreshment. Fresh and delicious on a hot day. The recipe is towards the end of this post.

An old drawer that’s been converted into a shelf holds the Margarita glasses.

The map of the US in the background is actually a piece of wrapping paper that I sewed on some fabric from Value Village (99 cents)!

The vino wine glasses are from World Market from about five years ago. They might still carry them!

I already had the big beverage dispenser. I think it was from Targe’ last year.

The Margarita glasses are regular canning jars dipped in lime juice and rimmed in sugar. That’s what you pour the Watermelon Margaritas into.

Watermelon Margarita Recipe

Watermelon Margarita Recipe

Ingredients: 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 lime wedge, 3 1/2 cups cubed seeded watermelon (or seedless), 1/2 cup tequila. 2 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon Triple Sec (orange-flavored liqueur), lime wedges to garnish

1. Place 2 teaspoons sugar in a saucer. Run the rims of 6 glasses with a lime wedge (or freshly squeezed lime juice). Spin each glass in sugar and set aside.

2. Combine watermelon and next 4 ingredients (through Triple Sec) in a blender; process until smooth. Fill each glass with 1/2 cup crushed ice. Add 1/2 cup margarita to each glass. Garnish with lime wedges. Makes 6 servings.

The Margaritas are really good and they’re only 105 calories a serving.

A bowl of fresh limes lets people garnish as they please.
