Keeping drinks cold?

ADH0906 · August 2013

Hey all... I have a very minor detail for my wedding next Friday (holy crap!) that I can't quite figure out. We're putting a glass beverage dispenser with lemonade at the ceremony entrance, and I'm trying to figure out how to keep it cool without diluting it (since it will likely be out for more than a half hour). I was thinking of using frozen lemons or something similar, but I just can't envision it. I think my wedding planning brain cells are just ... worn out. Any thoughts?

If the drink is say lemonade you could take lemonade and put it into ice cube trays and freeze it. Put the cubes of frozen lemonade into the dispenser, this way as they melt they aren't diluting your drink.

I usually just make lemonade ahead of time to make ice out of it so that the jar doesn't get watered down.

Thanks ladies. That's exactly the kind of 'oh yeah...duh' solution I was looking for.

You can buy reusable ice cubes also. Like these:

A cooler next to the dispenser with ice and an ice scooper would also do just fine in a pinch (if you don't want to put anything in the actual lemonade)

Or you could just slice up lemons, place them on a tray (with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent stickage), and stick them in the freezer. Wallah, frozen lemons that will keep your drink cold, not water it down, and add a nice pretty garnish.
