Jar filled with lemonade with striped straw Nicole Hill-Gerulat, nicolehill.blogspot.com

It's backyard picnic time! Relive childhood memories with these charming drink jars that look as good on a chic brunch table as they would at an old-school lemonade stand. We found this Mason jar sipper at Acme Party Box Company, but you can make your own by using a thick nail to punch through the lid, sanding down sharp edges and adding an old-fashioned straw. Fill with your favourite juice—or our Fresh strawberry lemonade — and garnish with an oversized slice of citrus. (It's also delicious spiked with vodka.) 25¢ sign optional.
