What's a classic (and special) non-alcoholic summer party drink?
I'm hosting a small fondue party. While there will be plenty of wine and sangeria, I would like to have a special non-alcoholic (and possibly sparkling) drink for my guests who do not drink alcohol. Something summery and more than just bottled water or soda. Any suggestions?
Answers: You could make a pitcher of limeade(I find that lemonade just isn't as strong as limeade), and add the following:
-large mint leaves
-Fruit(it's almost like a non-alcoholic sangria). Just take some blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, etc., mash them a bit to release the juices, and add them to the lemonade
-selzer water(preferably the lemon-flavored kind)
-Pineapple chunks(with the juice, and make sure it's not packed in syrup)
-Coco Lopez(it's cream of coconut, good for making pina coladas)
The key to making any alcoholic drink look as good as an alcoholic drink is to use the right glass, and add plenty of garnishes. I hope this helps. buy some sparkling white grape juice and mix several bottles of that with a half a pint of rainbow sherbert. Its delicious. well haha im 13 but when i go to florida and on cruises i always get virgin margaritas and VIRGIN STRAWBERRY DAQUERIES(those r the best) if you made those you usually only need the mix which you can get at a william sanoma and ice.... and they come in several flavors... you can pour them in cool glasses and i think thats a wonderful drink....
goodluckk. who better to get non alchoholic advice then someone who cant drink alchohol haha
have fun at ur fondue party There's always Martinelli Sparkling Cider. It comes in regular apple, apple cranberry, and apple grade. You could also make a sparkling punch. Just take a fruit or berry juice and add a lemon lime soda (like 7up) or club soda. sangria .... not only does it sound exotic... but the taste is divine!! there are plenty of variations... including a virgin pomegranite sangria found here: http://mexicanfood.about.com/od/bebidasd...
and just a plain type of sangria that includes pineapple chunks, orange slices, your choice of grape juice and club soda. http://www.everydaycook.com/recipebox/dr...
i hope this helps!! Pour 1 12-oz. can of cream soda into a pitcher.
Add about 20-oz, of limeade. Pina Colada without the rum
I tasted it first in juice bars in Mexico, but they used real coconut milk there.
It was dramatic
