Summer is in full swing and that means time for backyard BBQs, pool parties + plenty of fun with friends + family. I love anytime I can get my squad together to celebrate good times, yummy food + refreshing beverages…especially our go to, Dr Pepper! I always stock up + save at Walmart for my summertime gatherings, check out to see how I like to party with Dr Pepper!

I don’t know about you but I love a great BBQ. I have been a fan of grilling on the weekends ever since I was a kid. Whether it’s cooking up hotdogs, flipping some burgers, or grilling some chicken, no BBQ is complete without an ice-cold beverage. My squad’s beverage of choice? Dr Pepper.

For some reason, Dr Pepper has always been a fan favorite with my friends + family. My boyfriend mixes it with some lemon or lime + I prefer to drink it with a lot of ice (I live for cold drinks). However you enjoy it, Dr Pepper is the perfect refreshing go to this summer!

As if the amazing flavor isn’t enough, you can score Dr Pepper in various sizes from 7.5oz cans to a 12 pack to a 2 liter bottles on sale all summer long at Walmart.

Happy Tuesday Loves ♥ ICYMI, I spent the entire weekend relaxing by the pool, sipping on some refreshing drinks in Palm Springs with my bestie for her birthday! Even though it was a hot one (over 115 degrees, no joke) my bestie + I set up a little back yard BBQ in just a few easy steps, making this hot desert weekend one for the books!

Whether you are throwing a party or just entertaining with a few friends, setting up the perfect luncheon is easy with Minute Maid® Lemonade + Sprite® from Kroger.

BBQ’s are always a summer time favorite, and one of my favorite ways to stay refreshed is with a cute little beverage bar!

Honestly, a colorful display always adds a little ‘fun’ to any get together, so I am going to show you how to set up the perfect BBQ.

1.Head to your local Kroger store to stock up on your favorite Minute Maid + Sprite beverages along with other BBQ essentials like watermelon, hot dogs etc.

What I love about Minute Maid is that it is made with the goodness of real lemons, Minute Maid Lemonade is the quintessential refreshing beverage with the great taste of a simpler time

P.S. If you buy any 2 Minute Maid or Sprite 2 liters at a Kroger store, you can save $1 off your watermelon purchase! (Don’t you love a good deal? I sure do!)

Also, be sure to be on the lookout for the look for 2 liter toppers and tear pad with coupons for additional savings!!

2.Grab your BBQ wear + picnic essentials. This little set was an unexpected find at my bestie’s house (clearly she was ready for a back yard feast!)

3.Begin prepping the beverage bar!

So everyone loves a fun summer twist when it comes to have the perfect #SummerRefreshment, so I decided to incorporate the perfect summer fruit in my drinks, WATERMELON!

While I kept a whole watermelon for decor on the table, I sliced other pieces of watermelon into cubes to put in the mason jar glasses (because mason jars area always a good idea hehe :p) to add a little extra fruit flavor to the beverages being served. Also, the watermelon accents add to the overall ‘Insta-Worthyness’ of the drinks haha!

4.Set up the drinks!

I LOVE mason jars, if that weren’t already obvious, so when my bestie pulled these out of her kitchen cabinet, I instantly fell in L O V E!

One jar to be filled with Sprite, and one jar to be filled with Minute Maid. Perfect for serving amongst family + friends (and prevents messes and spilling from over pouring).

If you need some more inspiration for set up, check out some ideas here!

5.Bring out the food + glasses!

After setting up the beverages, it’s time to bring out the glasses + food while it’s hot. Hot dogs are always my favorite BBQ go-to so I chose to make those for our little summertime gathering.

6.Pour a glass + enjoy!!

Finally, it’s time to create your yummy beverage! Simply pick your favorite drink + pour it into your watermelon accented glass to combine the two for a refreshing summer treat.
