Anyone know of a non-alcoholic drink mix that tastes good???  I have one called “swamp water” but have no clue what it tastes like!  

Any suggestions????

hmmm, may i ask what this is for?  are you not serving alcohol at all, or is this just the option for the non-drinkers?  if your answer is the latter, i think regular drinks like iced tea and lemonade would suffice.

Oooh, I have some.

Cranberry juice, pomegranate, and 7up or sprite. Very yummy.

Or you can use any juice concentrate cans from the freezer sections, but replace the called for water with seltzer or soda water. It makes for bubbly juices that feel festive and taste great!

@Mrs. Meowerson: actually… it’s for our STD’s.  I have an alcoholic version with several mixed drink recipes for those who drink, but I need a non-alcoholic recipe for those who are Mormon and would give us hell for anything with alcohol in it.  

As for the wedding itself, we’ll have the usual variety of sodas, tea, water, milk (soy/2%, whatever), and anything alcoholic will by on a ‘bring it yourself” basis.  (well, except for our cabin which will have a decently stocked selection for anyone who IS NOT family and especially the wedding party).  

Disclaimer: HIS family are Mormons and his parents (and his sister) especially do NOT believe in drinking and have a very strong opinion against it.

@mh.albania: thank you!  hmmmm…. might just try that tomorrow!!! 

Do you mix the cranberry juice, pomegranate, and 7up or sprite together?

What about a regular Arnold Palmer or Arnold Palmer on the Beach?

Lemonade, Iced Tea (sweet tea if you want to go “Southern Style”), and Mango if you want the “on the beach” part

**edit** just recalled that some Mormons avoid caffeine, in which case you might want to note to use caffeine-free tea or something as most black teas do have caffeine.

Lemonade (can be made with just lemons or various fruits added)

We had virgin mimosas at my shower (it was at a church-no alcohol) made with non alcoholic champagne if you can find it, or just orange juice, lemonade concentrate, and ginger ale. They were tasty!

Public Service Announcement: “non-alcoholic” wines and beer still contain alcohol (the percentage is lower but it is still there) so they would not be acceptable if the church doesn’t allow alcohol to be served.

Im talking more along the lines of carbonated grape juice, not something you would buy in a liquor store. I live in PA and we have very strict alochol restrictions, you cant even buy non-a beer outside of a state store.

Martinelli’s sparkling cider is good. The health food section at most grocery stores has sparkling fruit juice (cherry, strawberry, cranberry, grape, etc).

This stuff is terrific: http://www.kristianregale.com/pear

We have a bunch of guests who don’t drink for religious reasons, so we bought a case of this as an alternative to sparkling wine.

@Knubbsy-Wubbsy: yeah, I’ve learned a lot since being engaged to my Fiance… who doesn’t “practice” but is still part of the church.  (They do an awesome trick-or-truck here and we try to take the kids to it…)  Not sure how they explain the chocolate, though…  

they don’t drink tea OR coffee, so that probably wouldn’t work, but it does sound YUMMY!!!!!!

 

@Annabelle86: I know the kind you’re talking about!  But I’m not sure if his family would go for it, though, since they MIGHT think it still had alcohol in it, anyway.  (I’m pretty sure the sparkling “champagne” around here can be bought by anyone, which means it has no alcohol in it.  VA is really picky about that, lol)

Orange juice and peach nectar with ginger ale or sprite for fizziness?  Kind of a non-alcoholic bellini/mimosa hybrid.

I also love the combo of orange and pineapple juice, with maybe a cherry and a splash of cherry juice for a pretty sunset-y color.
