Wonderfully sweet, tangy, refreshing and bubbly. Plus, it’s so easy and inexpensive to make right at home!
Since Butters is our first dog – our first baby – we’ve been completely spoiling him. We hold him in our arms, we give him treats for being cute, and we try to get in as many snuggles as possible. I also went shopping on etsy.com for the most adorable, customized bandana to put on his collar, and to my surprise, he posed so beautifully for the camera.
But then 30 seconds later, this happened.
Yeah, I don’t think he liked it very much. At least I got one good shot of him, right?
But once we got that bandana off, Jason and I sipped on this incredibly refreshing sweet and tangy, bubbly lemonade. It was the absolute perfect spring afternoon, guzzling this down in sunny 70 degree weather, with the puppy sitting right beside us.
