| I am throwing an informal birthday party for my SIL and would like to make one signature drink that can be made in advance. Would like one that without alcohol would be palatable to kids as well. The menu is very casual. Any ideas? Recipes?
Thanks. |

| Maybe I am boring, but Cranberry cocktail mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with 7UP is wjhat I most orten use....not too sweet that you can't drink it with a meal...you can add some vodka or mango rum if you are feeling adventurous and it's pretty for kids. Serve with a slice of lime. Another one is strawberry kiwi with club soda...it's too sweet to use 7UP so I mix in some club soda....and it's lovely and pink. Linda C |

| You could have the rum at the side to add for the adults with this one: STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI PUNCH (serves 8-12) 6 cups fresh strawberries, stems & caps removed (or 6 cups frozen unsweetened strawberries, undrained) 6 oz can frozen limeade concentrate 3/4 cup light rum OR unsweetened pineapple juice 16 oz bottle lemon-lime soda 2 cups ice cubes Place berries, half at a time in blender or processor. Cover & blend until smooth. Transfer blended berries to large non-metallic pitcher. Stir in limeade concentrate & rum or pineapple juice. Cover & chill until serving time. Vodka can be served with this one: In a quart jar, combine the lemonade & pineapple juice. Fill the remainder of the jar w/the orange juice. Serve over ice garnished w/fresh mint.~~Food For Thought Rum can be added to this: combine the juices, sugar & almond extract in a large pitcher & stir until the sugar dissolves. Chill. Add the ginger ale just before serving. Garnish w/fruit slices. Serve over ice.~~Austin Entertains |

| This is good! Cranberry Punch 2 cups cranberry cocktail Combine first 2 ingredients and chill. Do not add ginger ale until ready to serve punch so that it doesn’t go flat. Add frozen raspberries to the punch as a garnish and/or make ice cubes out of cranberry cocktail and pineapple juice (red and yellow cubes) so that it doesn’t water down the punch and keeps it chilled. Or put some of the punch mixture (without the ginger ale) into a bundt cake pan and freeze. When frozen solid, dip pan in hot water to loosen then put the big cube into the punch bowl. It keeps the punch chilled for quite some time. Variation: Add 2 cups orange juice, or red wine (to taste). |
