Do you remember the scene in Alice in Wonderland where she's too big for the door so she drinks the little bottle that says "Drink me" and then shrinks?
Well for this bridal shower we thought it might be fun to make "Drink Me" bottles for each of the guests. We collected enough clear glass bottles for each lovely lady and emptied them of their contents. (I'm sure there's a way to find already emptied glass bottles, but we liked the colorful labels too much.) We then filled them with our own "Refreshing Lemon-Lime" Drink
Refreshing Lemon-Lime Drink Recipe:
Cut fresh lemon in half, squeeze juice into a bowl and then slice the rind into sections small enough to fit through the mouth of the bottle. Mash lemon pulp in the bowl until soft. Repeat with your lime. Using your hands crush fresh mint leaves to release their oils. Combine sparkling water, mashed pulps and leaves, juice, and rinds in each bottle by first placing the larger pieces into each bottle and then funneling the liquids. Add a natural sweetener (such as agave) to taste. Place in the fridge, prop up in an ice bucket, or drop crushed ice into each bottle to cool. Serve on a hot afternoon at a bridal shower for a healthy and refreshing treat! We drank ours out on the porch in our sundresses and hats!
