Christmas Drinks

[Phoebe47]

I am doing a stocking for all the adults who are with us for Christmas - just as a little extra. One of the things I want to put in is something nice to drink and I have bought cans of cocktail from M&S for the women and a small bottle of wine or a bottle of beer for the men (depending on preference). However, I am really struggling about what drink to put in for my husbands elderly grandparents. They do not drink alcohol so I need to think of some other drink that comes in a small bottle or can. Ordinary fizzy drinks will not do and nor will coffe or chocolate based drinks. Any ideas? If anyone has a recipe for a nice non-alcoholic drink that would be great too as I would be happy to make the drinks myself.

Dont older people like baileys at christmas?

I am aware that I am making an ageist generalisation :o

[wannabedomesticgoddess]

Just read they dont drink. Sorry.

I think you get non-alcoholic cocktails in Sainsburys. Well, I saw some there last time I was in but not sure on the size of the bottles.

Our local farm shop sells little bottles of locally produced apple juice.

What about a brew in the bottle ginger beer or old fashioned lemonade. Think bundeburg do one?

What about 'posh' ginger beer or dandelion and burdock. Fentimans are quite nice. [http://www.fentimans.com/soft_drinks Fentimans]]

Thanks everybody for your replies. They have all been really helpful. Wannabedomesticgoddess - baileys would be a good idea for my DH's aunt. She loves the stuff so thanks for that. Off to look at Fentimans now. Happy Christmas all.

I would give them the j2o's with glitter in :) look xmassy, and aren't too cheap/ 'normal' and not fizzy
