Little Maven Lemonade - awesome lemonade with recipes from different countries

The idea began innocently nearly two years ago, back when Mariana and her daughter Sofia were still living in Massachusetts. Sofia had come to her mother wanting to start a lemonade stand, so Ms. Silva-Buck — recognizing that her daughter’s expectations for success would not be met in their quiet town — began to think of some creative alternatives. The result was bottling homemade lemonade she and Sofia made together at home to take to different events.

She and Sofia moved to Barrington last year, and began to build their lives here in the Ocean State. Constantly, they were surrounded by different cultures — Haitian, Indian, Chinese — and Ms. Silva-Buck began wondering what their friends and neighbors drank at home. She and Sofia added a Brazilian limeade and Chinese lemonade to their repertoire, adding facts about the ingredients or the country to every bottle. The idea for international lemonade was officially born..

Stay tuned for details!
