When thinking about the perfect summer day, one thing always comes to mind. Refreshing beverages. Whether entertaining, sitting beach side or just hanging out at home, I love sipping on something cold and delicious! To make brilliant beverages for company or just for personal pleasure, I'm all about having the perfect serve ware. From amazing cups, trays, straws and napkins, World Market has the perfect decor for setting a summery outdoor scene.
Shall we get to sipping?
Watermelon & Mint Infused Water
No two colors combined scream summer more than watermelon pink and minty mint green. So far, my favorite summer bevvy to serve is this one. It really captures the colors and freshness of the season.
With this awesome Glass Infuser Dispenser from World Market, adding flavor to water is not more simple than ever. Definitely one of my top picks. All you have to do is add your preferred fruits, veggies and herbs to the colander in the center. It twists onto the cap, then you simply insert it into your drink of choice. To make Watermelon & Mint Infused Water, I simply added my ingredients. Letting the water set for at least a half hour and preferably overnight will enhance flavors. Plus, it makes a gorgeous centerpiece at your summer party display.
You can also make the water by simply setting desired amount of ingredients directly into your water pitcher.

Lime Infused Coconut Water
I really enjoy coconut water, it's one of the most tasty and refreshing beverages to beat summer boredom. It's like summer in a cup. Add a splash of lime or lime slices and you have a simple, yet tropical flavored drink that is a unique crowd pleasure. To infuse the lime flavor, add slices of lime to coconut water in a pitcher or server. Let set for a half and hour or overnight and you have yourself some delicious sips! This Harvest Bay Coconut Water is one of the best I've tasted. Instant love.
With the help of some pretty glasses to serve and this absolutely stunning Blue Glass Dispenser at World Market, you will definitely be the talk of the town. Such a simple way to upgrade your party. I'll be making excuses to have guests over just to showcase this pretty piece.

Strawberry Basil Green Iced Tea
For the tea, I used 20 green tea bags to make one gallon. I boiled 1.5 cups of water and added the tea bags and steeped according to directions. Then added to a gallon pitcher and filled it up with cold water to the top. Then, I added 2 cups of sliced strawberries. To infuse the basil, I used this nifty and very affordable Water Infuser Ball pictured below. It's under $4, definitely a must-have steal!

I recently tried cucumber water made similarly with some lemon. I cannot wait to get my hands on a diffuser and try some of these other recipes, especially the watermelon, and of course the coconut...and the cucumber water again too! So refreshing for summer!
