One of the best parts of summer is discovering those little traditions that instantly bring you back to a favorite moment.
For many residents, that might be an afternoon spent by the pool, catching up with neighbors, enjoying a scoop of ice cream, or simply slowing down and soaking in a summer day.
That’s exactly what inspired this year’s Live It Refresher Float.
Created as part of the Hawthorne Experience Pool Party Weekend, the Live It Refresher Float combines a few summer favorites into one sweet treat designed to be shared, enjoyed, and recreated all season long.

More Than a Summer Treat
The Live It Refresher Float is a fun addition to Pool Party Weekend, but it also reflects what the Hawthorne Experience is all about.
The best memories are often the simplest ones—a conversation with a neighbor, an afternoon by the pool, or a summer treat shared with friends. While events help bring people together, it’s the moments that happen around them that create lasting connections.
Whether you’re joining us during Pool Party Weekend or recreating the Live It Refresher Float at home later this summer, we hope it serves as a reminder to slow down, enjoy the season, and make the most of the moments worth remembering.
Here’s to a sweet summer and even sweeter memories.
