One thing you will always find in our fridge is a cold drink — it could be as simple as sparkling water or as healthy as a good kombucha drink. You could say we have become drink fiends over the past couple of years. We always find pleasure in a cold, tasty drink.
We copped super cute, summery tumblers on a recent trip to Ripon, Wisconsin, (about an hour and half away from Milwaukee) with @bloggercollabday from Patina Vie, a European style vintage home decor shop. So we thought what better way to celebrate summer than with some cold, refreshing mocktails. We put our taste buds and drink-making skills to the test and created a bunch of concoctions that actually turned out pretty good and thought we would pass along!

Notes:
We got this pitcher from Anthropologie that matches pretty well with the tumblers. It’s a great piece for when you are entertaining guests and want to offer them a fun drink. And in case you were wondering, we got the cute berry colander from Crate and Barrel 🍓
If you make these drinks, please tag us in any pics @theirwildlife, we’d love to see them, and of course, let us know how they turn out 😊
Cheers 🍹
