Last weekend one of our favorite bloggers, Joy The Baker, invited us over for dinner. (Insert fan girl screams here… We love her!) We brought supplies to make a version of our whiskey lemonade, this time with mint simple syrup, fresh mint and an edible flower just because it's pretty.
Joy's yard is such a dreamy space, perfect for a casual dinner with new friends! She made a delicious chocolate chip cake and she let us test some super secret (shh!) ice cream recipes. We had a wonderful time. It was inspiring to soak up a little bit of Joy's magic. xo. Elsie + Emma

Looks like a wonderful time–those flowers in the drinks are so pretty with those straws! It’s always so cool to see some of my favorite bloggers together! 🙂
I need those birch straws.
Great pictures, you always succeed in evoking a certain joyfull, summery mood in your pictures; it’s amazing.
OMG you girls are so lucky! Looks like you had a great time with Joy and a good dinner too! 🙂
absolutely gorgeous! thanks for introducing me to Joy the Baker! x
What a lovely little space in which to dine – particularly on that gorgeous-looking chocolate chip cake!
Hi Kim! Here’s our whiskey lemonade recipe- https://abeautifulmess.com/2013/02/whiskey-lemonade-with-honey.html the mint version is the same, but you use mint when making the simple syrup (5+ pieces) and then add fresh mint to the drink!
Everything looked so lovely. I’d luv to make the whiskey lemonade but couldn’t find the recipe anywhere. Is there any way I could get the regular and the mint whiskey lemonade recipes? Thank you in advance if I can, and I understnd if I can’t.
Oh my gosh! Blogger nirvana!
Wow, I’m extremely jealous. I would have loved to be at that backyard party. It looks stunning. I’ve just recently started following you and Joy, and it hurts my heart that I’ve been missing out for so long. Some of the best voices out there.
Everything looks lovely! And I love the straws! Do you know where i can find them?
