Shirley Temple
A favorite drink for little girls and party-goers alike. Some grenadines may have alcohol in it, so be sure to check for that before you make this for children.
RaSpBeRrY FiZzLeR
This recipe, made for kids, is a fruity-good drink. Raspberry juice is blended with raspberry sherbet and carbonated water. You can try cranberry-raspberry, or apple-raspberry juice!
Tart Apple-Ginger Shrub
This syrupy, apple-infused drinking vinegar is an old-fashioned recipe that's used as a unique flavor enhancer for cocktails or sodas. Store in the refrigerator.
Mock Champagne
A good baby-shower punch that looks especially good when served with an ice ring.
Italian Cream Soda
A watermelon and passion fruit flavored Italian cream soda.
Tornado Twist
Great drink for kids and adults who don't like the bitter taste of cranberry-raspberry juice.
Shrub
This is the cold-process method for making a shrub. This is one of those 'don't have exact measurements' recipes, but if you get the ratios close, it is hard to mess it up. Although I'm usually a fan of using fresh ingredients, frozen fruit/berries actually work well and sometimes give a little more juice (don't tell!). I combine the shrub with sparkling water to make a nice soda. It can also be used in cocktails and salad dressing.
Virgin Sunset
This is my interpretation of a virgin sunset. I also refer to this as a pineapple, orange, cherry cocktail. The grenadine will sink to bottom causing layering of orange and red, hence, 'sunset.' If you wanted to make this alcoholic, a shot of champagne is my favorite, but tequila and vodka are other good alternatives. Flavored schnapps may also be an interesting mix.
Alcohol-Free Mint Julep
An alcohol FREE mint julep for you non-drinkers out there.... now you don't have to drink water and can enjoy the classic mint julep with a slight twist while watching the Kentucky Derby!
The Arnold Palmer
Sometimes the best things are the most simple. Nothing rings of summertime more than lemonade and iced tea. The Arnold Palmer brings them together.
Alcohol-Free Mojitos
These are great for the kids or for anyone who wants a refreshing alcohol-free drink.
Pink Champagne Mocktail
Fizzy non-alcoholic Champagne.
