What are some good fruity alcoholic drinks?

Question

If possible, I'd like one that has a non-alcoholic version as well. I just want to mix some fruity drinks up for 4th of July.

I'd also prefer one that doesn't have a million different types of alcohol in it.

Anyone got any good ideas for alcoholic fruity drinks that also have a non-alcoholic counterpart? :P
