Thread: Mocktail Recipes Needed for Teen Party

Recipes needed.....

The Vendome Haunted Hotel's first party (adult party) was a blast. I will post pictures soon but we have two more parties this weekend for our teenagers and are crazy trying to finalize everything.

The Hotel, of course, has a Blood Bar and at the adult party we had a bartender. My daughter wants us to keep the bar open for her party and serve mocktails. We usually just do a creepy Halloween punch and sodas for thekids so I am in need of some drink ideas that can be mixed by the 'bartender' (not paying one this time - just having a friend dress up).

All I can come up with is adding gummy worms and eyeballs to their drinks as they are poured. I also remember doing Suicides when I was a kid (mixing all the soda's together) I know it's crazy for everyone getting ready for the big weekend but any ideas would be soooooo appreciated.

I did a big "mocktails" event as part of my dorm gov't a few years ago, the biggest & easiest way to dress up drinks is with the glassware (or plasticware) and garnish. I think some of the things we did were:

Keg of ROOTbeer served in beer mugs

Kiddie cocktails served in martini glasses like cosmopolitans

Fruit punch served in hurricane glasses with little umbrellas and orange slices

OJ & 7up in a champagne glass = virgin mimosa

Margarita mix + 7up for a margarita on the rocks

V8 with hot sauce, celery stick, and olive for a bloody mary

Virgin daquaries & pina coladas are always good - kids love slushies. We rented margarita machines for our wedding, the bartender poured the slush and then mixed in tequila, rum, or nothing for virgins.

For kids you could also add pop rocks to drinks, cherries, spiders, etc.

My oldest girls liked to put a marichino cherry and some of the juice from the cherry jar in a champagne or wine glass with Sprite or 7-up. We served that at several of their birthday parties. I think one year I bought some cherry beverage concentrate from GFS and used that in place of the cherry juice. Also you could just have a blender handy and make smoothies for them or get some non alcoholic drink mixes like pina colada or margarita and just mix the mix with ice in the blender. Good luck! Glag to hear you Haunted Hotel party went well!
