We are having our daughter's birthday party at the end of the month. There will be a handful of people who are either diabetic, or simply prefer sugar-free beverages. Currently I plan on making strawberry lemonade (from a fabulous recipe someone shared right here on Answers, btw) and providing small bottles of water. I also plan a selection of beer and wine for the adults. For those sugar-free people, other than setting out diet soda, what can I serve? And if you have any ideas to enhance the presentation, that's even better. (I really don't care for the table with plastic cups and 2-liters. It always ends up with spills all over the table and just looks too informal for what we are trying to achieve with this party.)

I use 1 packet Crystal light lemonade and a 2 litre of diet 7-up or any lemon lime drink. It is so refreshing and everyone loves it. If you buy the discount brand of diet lemon lime drink and store's brand of crystal light.. it is very reasonably priced and just as good. put this in a punch bowl and make an ice ring the day before and put on top. You could even make the ice ring with pink lemonade for contrast. I add a little food coloring to the ice ring. If you don't like the punch bowl just buy a really pretty glass pitcher to serve it with or a pretty crock with a spout to serve it in.

Just make homemade lemonade and use Splenda instead.
2 cups lemon juice + 2 cups Splenda (the kind you measure, not packets), then add water and ice to bring the level up to 1 gallon.

Sugar loose? If you imply with synthetic sweeteners, none. I drink three-four further big cups of tea with sugar every day and mostly a can of dad too, so the sugar loose drinks that I eat are milk with foods or water for the period of the night time. j0e

Whatever Ideas you have replace the sweetner with Splenda, or whatever sweetner you can get that would suit them. Making is better then buying pre-packaged drinks.

Maybe you should serve sparkling water or diet green tea. Also, Snapple makes a diet peach tea and it is good!!
