virgin drinks?

Question

What kinds can I make in abundance? I don't drink so at parties it's nice to have creative things OTHER than shirley temples. recipes would be great too, if you have any. thanks mucho!

Answer 1

Here are a bunch...and I also like to do the Bacardi mix with sprite or gingerale...Fantastic...

Margarita mix and club soda and crushed ice is a cool drink, you can still rim the glasses with the mixes you can buy...

One I like is a kind of Virgin Mojito,

3 fresh mint sprigs
2 tsp sugar
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1.5 ounces of dark gingerale
club soda

In a tall thin glass, crush part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside. Add the sugar and lime juice and stir thoroughly. Top with ice. Add gingerale and mix. Top off with *chilled* club soda (or seltzer). Add a lemon slice and the remaining mint, and serve.

These are awesome on a hot day! It is just a regular mojito with gingerale in place of the rum, I didscovered this while my friend was pregnant and wanted "matching drinks" with the rest of the girls...we made it a tradition, and drink the virgin ones all the time now...even though she has had her baby and her baby is like 3 and a half now...lol

Answer 2

My favorite is sherbert punch. Take equal parts hawaiian punch and ginger ale (chilled), and add scoops of raspberry sherbert. Can be made in individual glasses if you don't want to use a punch bowl.

Peach or raspberry sorbet is also excellent in ginger ale (which can be substituted for champagne in any recipe).

It's also fun to mix pinapple juice with 7up or sprite and garnish with a pinapple chunk on a toothpick along with a cherry. Add a dash of grenadine and you have a virgin sunrise.

Hot chocolate stirred with a mint candy cane is a nice hot drink, as is hot cider with a cinnamon stick and a splash of club soda (or ginger ale again).

Another great item is italian sodas. Get some club soda or sparkling mineral water like Callistoga. Add some flavored syrup (made for this purpose, not pancake syrup) and a dollop of heavy cream. Yum.

Answer 3

Any sweet drink, margarita, bloody mary,
daiquiri, Manhattan, etc can all be made without the alcohol. They taste great, I don't miss the alcohol at all.

Answer 5
