We're hosting a 50th,what are some nice drinks for the young ones??
Itz my dad's 50th,so we're having evrybody-young and old for the celebration of this milestone aga,So any suggestions on drinks for the little ones apart from wines for the adults and all
Answers:
Get ginger ale or Sprite add a little pineapple juice and scoops of sherbet. Rainbow or individual flavors. Kids love it. Serve it in a punch bowl. The best part is if they spill it, it's not RED!!!!
Shirley Temples
punch - half sprite, half pineapple juice, and a thing of strawberry sherbert. yummy.
sparkling juice
Soda pop always works. You just need some 2 liters, cups, and a sharpie marker to put their name on the cup. A lot of kids only get pop at parties, so it's the usual treat.
For toasting, give the kids grape juice instead of wine. A lot of party stores and liquor stores sell plastic wine glasses, which are always fun.
'Reisling' gave my answer already, but here's the recipe...
"Shirley Temple"
4 to 6 oz. ginger ale
1 oz. grenadine
1 oz. lime juice
Marashino cherry
Orange slice
Pour first 3 ingredients over ice in tall glass. Garnish with cherry and orange slice.
(TIP: This recipe can easily be turned into a punch.)
Sparkling cider - it's bubbly and looks like a champagne bottle, but no liquor.
Sparkling cider in champange glasses is always fun
Vergin Pina Coladas
Mix frozen raspberry cocktail mix (available wherever frozen lemonade is sold) with either 7-up or ginger ale. It's absolutely delicious!
For adults you can mix the same with champagne and have a great punch.
Add a maraschino cherry if you want, but kids love this!
Cheers!
booze always works well
A sherbet 7up punch. Non alcoholic grasshoppers. Non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri. Grape juice in a wine bottle - they are in the juice isle of the grocery store.
Try the following website. I looked at several sites and this one looked the best.

1.Make frozen Fruit Smoothies.
2. Mix equal parts of 7-up and orange juice in a punch bowl, make a floating frozen ring with a mixture of the orange juice and 7-up, and strawberries, makes a wonderful drink for young and old alike.
3.Mix Apple Juice with Sparkling water, cut up apples and add cherries, the fruit will float on top,
Wishing your Parents a Blessed Golden Anniversary!!
The best punch EVER! Buy liters of Sprite and the Dole Orange/Banana/Mango juice. Pour them both into a punch bowl. Then, cut up cantaloupe and strawberries and dump them in....For the adults, have cheap champagne on hand to mix with it (like a mimosa with a different juice. and the Sprite can't be tasted when the champagne is in there.) For the little ones, just serve the punch and they won't feel left out because it's bubbly! it is soooo simple but looks really elegant!
oh heck, just let the kids booze it up. they will sleep nicely and won't tear up the furniture.
Try Mocktails-The children will love them as with the adults.

fruit punch is easy, kraftfoods.com has tons of kid oreiented drinks you can search for.
hawaiian punch, Sprite with pink lemonade in it, Give them eggnog probably Gingerale so that they think it's champagne so they don't feel left out! I did that before it was cute they kids were toasting each other left and right lol
the little ones should prefer punch or lemonade
LUSCIOUS SLUSH PUNCH
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 cups water
2 (3 oz) pkg strawberry jello
46 oz can pineapple juice
2/3 cup lemon juice
1 qt orange juice
2 (2 litre) bottles lemon-lime soda
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water and jello. Boil for 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple juice, lemon juice and orange juice. Divide mixture in half, and freeze in 2 separate containers. Gallon sized freezer bags work well. Before serving, remove from freezer and microwave mixture for about 1 minute to soften slightly. Place frozen mixture in punch bowl and break up (a potato masher works well). Pour lemon -lime soda over frozen mixture and stir to make mixture slushy. Makes 50 (4 ounce) servings.
KID PUNCH
1small pkg red jello
1 pkg unsweetened red kool-aid
1 large can pineqpple juice
1 small can frozen lemonade
1 cup sugar
water
Mix all ingredientrs well. Add enough water to mixture to make 1 gallon. Place in freezer until slushy.
Shirley Temples, Virgin Margaritas, Apple Cider, or some other carbonated juices
Let them drink it in wine, martini, or champagne glasses. They'll feel like "grown-ups"
Shirley Temples all the way!
beer,
juice,
water, then,
wine
Get some unbreakable wine glasses and put a tiny drop of food colouring in each, serve clear lemonade and when they pour it in they will get a cool colour. I love doing this for birthdays. Then you don't have to worry about kids not liking the drinks you made for them!
fruit juice spritzers
You could serve the kids sparkling cider. Martinelli's makes 3 kinds: Apple, Apple-Cranberry, and Apple-Grape. They are very festive and taste delicious. I have served sparkling cider to my kids on holidays and special occasions since they were little and they and I still enjoy it. It also gives non-drinking adults a non-alcoholic beverage to enjoy. Good Luck and Salud!
Our little ones always got Shirley Temples,That is Ginger Ale and Cherry syrup top with a cherry.
