LIME BAR CART + BRAZILIAN LEMONADE
11:02 AM
Lime is such an underrated small citrus fruit packed with health
benefits. I love putting lime in my water, Mexican dishes, and fish!
This lime cart was made in less than 10
minutes! I accented this cart with some paper straws, galvanized ice bucket and
serving tray, and mason jars.
I threw on some fresh flowers and limes for a pop
of color. I also used some items I had around the house for some added style.
Now let's talk about this Brazilian lemonade! A few months ago, T and I went to a Brazilian steakhouse. Our waiter recommended this beverage he said was a big seller. Me being the foodie I am, “Ohh, bring me one!” Yall, when I tell you that drink. was. delicious.
I’m a visual creator. I see it. I make it. So when I saw how much I loved this drink, I knew I had to try it out for myself. The waiter even gave me the recipe!
As you can see, I didn’t make fresh lemonade. I used Simply Lemonade with coconut milk, fresh mint, and two sliced limes.
I also used a tablespoon of Polar Seltzer. Polar has the perfect lime seltzer for a dash
of spritz to the lemonade. I purchased the bottles from my local grocery. You
can also find them here. If you're willing to take the plunge, Polar also has a Cranberry lime flavor that looks promising.
So fast forward a few months, here I am finally
testing it out. I’ll be honest, mine did not taste EXACTLY like the steakhouse’s
but it was darn sure close!
Try it out!
