Yay! It's National Watermelon Day!
We served this refreshing cold beverage at a wedding shower hosted by my friends, the Maule's. This is a party they will never forget. When planning, we stopped by our favorite vintage rental, Relics, in downtown Milwaukee. We have way more to share about this party, but for today lets dive right into this tasty limeade featuring watermelon and lemon balm.
Stay tuned for our next post where were share decorating tips as well as this delicious Pear, Rhubarb and Goat Cheese Waldorf Salad!
