Being a girl from the South, while I'd like to think I'm not too terribly demanding, I'll be honest...there are three things in my world that must be spot on:
My cowgirl boots.
My country music.
And my sweet tea.
...specifically the kind that's served in mason jar form...
...and from a convenient, non-tea-bag-steeping, squeezy bottle.
(Is it just me or is steeping tea bags the most obnoxious thing ever?!)...
Enter: Crystal Light Liquid.
That's right party people...no more powdery mess, no steeping of tea bags (Can I get an amen?!) ,
0 calories, all liquid goodness, and comes in 6 genius flavors:
iced tea | peach bellini | pomtini | strawberry lemonade | mango passionfruit | blueberry raspberry
While I'd usually have fresh iced tea set out for my parties, I tested out the new Crystal Light Liquid at our recent housewarming party and needless to say, it was a HUGE hit! Some might call it lazy, but I call it efficient. (Hey, I had a LOT to do in a little bit of time so boiling and steeping tea bags was not in the plans.) Fortunately, a few drops of this stuff hit the spot and helped get the party started!
I'm still anxious to run out and pick up the peach bellini and pomtini flavors and give em' a test drive but until then, I know the iced tea Crystal Light Liquid will be making a regular appearance in my kitchen, my purse and even my desk drawer.
Do I think the iced tea flavor is every Southern girl's dream? Absolutely. Stuff is UH-DIC-TING and adds just the perfect amount of flavoring to spice up that boring ol' glass of water!

Girl I love me some sweet tea...and cowgirl boots...and country music. We could be BFFs. And now I'm going to have to look for this stuff at the store! :)
ReplyDeleteI just made sweet tea last night! Darn tea bags. I am going to have to try this stuff out!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you drink Crystal Light! It's so bad for you, all that aspartame! Ish.
ReplyDeleteI tried the peach Bellini one out of curiosity and I thought it was terrible. I preferred their old standards - peach mango green tea and lemonade when I did use crystal light
My favorite way to save time and stress the day of is to get everything chopped the night before and decide on serving dishes for everything so all I have to do is lay things out the day of!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's easy to do one handed ;) My planning secret is that I go to the dollar store and buy those cheap look-like-fancy-crystal platters and bowls. It makes me feel like I'm being fancy even if I only spent $5.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Time Saving Tip for Parties is...Tastefully Simple! They make the BEST dips and drinks. Plus they are reasonably priced, quick and easy to make the night before!
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow southerner, I'm with you on appreciating some sweet tea! My time saving tip for parties is to make ahead the dishes that you can and then enjoy yourself!
ReplyDeleteThe bellini one is delicious! As is the mango passionfruit.
ReplyDeleteOOOO. Can't wait to try that peach bellini!
ReplyDeleteI am still trying to stick pretty yeast free thanks to you and Steph! I have been adding a little of the strawberry lemonade to plain la croix and then pouring a little vodka to make a nice little cocktail!!
ReplyDeleteThe Bellini flavor is so good! I met up with my friends for drinks a few weeks ago but I just got water since I was driving. I ended up having four "Bellinis" so awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time saving trick is prepping and preparing anything and everything i can in advance...can't wait to try out this new tea!
ReplyDeleteI adore the bellini flavor....you must try it girl!!! My party saver is to prep the night before. Otherwiese I run around like a chicken with its head cut off the day of!
ReplyDeleteLove me some sweet tea. I need to try these out asap!
ReplyDeleteSounds so good! My party time saver is to prep as much the night before so (hopefully) the next day is no stress!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time-saving secret? TAKE- OUT ;) Just kidding I love to cook, but I will typically do things over several days because I have to spend more than a couple of hours in the kitchen I get cranky!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time-saving party secret? Hire a planner. Mostly because that's my career. All hail the event planners!
ReplyDeleteFav time-saving secret: freeze berries/mint into your ice cubes to class-up any casual get-together. I keep a stash of them in the freezer and use them for girls nights as well! :D
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time-saving party secret? Only making one Costco run or whole foods not messing around with long errands
ReplyDeleteohhh I love sweet tea, excited to try a more healthy version. Take out is my time saving trick!
ReplyDeleteMy party planning secret is planning and starting ahead of the day of. I am such a list maker, I plan out everything to be done early and get started organizing a few days in advance!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite party planning secret is to plan for things that don't need to be heated up and can be prepared the night before. Nothing is worse than having to heat up 6 different dishes all at different temperatures.
ReplyDeleteSweet tea is my go-to drink so I'm definitely trying this stuff!
I have an easy dip I always use as my go-to party secret! It's super easy and super cheap and always a huge hit! I just get some of my hubby's homemade salsa and add in some sour cream and voila DIP!
ReplyDeleteFor a party on a hot day I take whatever beverage I am serving (a tea and fruit juice mixture is a favorite) and make a lot of it up into ice cubes so while the drinks are served they look pretty and they maintain their flavor.

Girl, I'm the same way: gotta have my boots, music, and tea! And even though I'm not from the south (sadly), I have always aspired to be southern. I think it just suits me :)

My favorite time saving trick is to add in at least one store-bought item, whether it's cookies, cupcakes, crackers, etc.
ReplyDeletei think i'm the only southern girl who doesn't like sweet tea! i do like those crystal light liquids, though. the mango passionfruit is amazing.
ReplyDeletemy party-planning tip is to set out the serving dishes (or labels) where everything goes, so you can easily see what's left to do. OR, if you don't want to spend alot of time cleaning, vacuum about 15 minutes before guests are supposed to arrive. everything always looks that much cleaner when a place is freshly vacuumed!
Oh I love a good party! My trick is to have every bowl on the table with the labels in front/beside their respective serving platter. Right before the party begins, it's easier to put everything out (and in a hurry!) when the labels are right there :)
ReplyDeleteI stick with what I know. If I'm the one hosting a party I make what I know is easy and popular amongst our friends!
ReplyDeleteI always use plastic. Makes clean up a breeze!
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of prep the day before, and of course make my husband help :)
ReplyDeleteYep, as most everyone else said, my favorite way to save time party day is to do as much as possible the night(s) before! When all you have to do is heat things up come party day.. you'll LOVE yourself for it!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to get ready for a party is to make as much of the food ahead of time as I can and set it up on platters and then leave it in the fridge to pull out right before party time!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteCook the food and prep it all the day before!
