Wwyd, Buck's Fizz for children aged 6 and 3?

[AltinkumATEalltheTurkey]

Or not, ds1 has asked for it as me and dh, normally have it, ds2 can't have it not that he willl know, so he'll be having soda water in a orange glass, to him it will be fizzy pop. Or do I pretend to do Buck's Fizz, fresh orange and lemonade/soda water

I'm thinking the latter, but dh says a little topped up with lemonade won't do any harm?

I'd let him have a tiny bit, topped up with more juice.

maybe about a cm in a flute topped up?

Pretend!!

I buy my DC some Schloer for Christmas drinks. Orane and lemonade sounds like a good idea as well.

Or I'd say no, depends on my mood it would seem

Pretend. 'Naice' orange juice (Innocent is good) and lemonade or fizzy water.

It is alcoholic

No-what's the point? There are lots of special drinks thst are nonalcoholic.

It is alcoholic, why would you give a child alcohol?

No, 6 is too young for any alcohol. He can have orange juice with lemonade or soda or tonic to make it fizzy. Surprised you need to ask, tbh.

No way. Mine are getting pink lemonade as a treat.

you could all have non-alcoholic 'bucks fizz'

Don't pretend - tell him he can't have alcohol as he is too young but you will make him a special drink and do fresh orange and lemonade.

"No darling, bucks fizz is for adults because they contain alcohol".

Or am I way too old fashioned/simplistic about these things?

No. Pretend. He won't know the difference.

No way! DS (5) is getting lemonade as a treat on Christmas Day. I'm fairly relaxed about giving children sips of alchohol, watered down wine etc but 3 or even 6 is way, way too young.

Mine have it. Half a glass at special occasions, swiftly followed by another drink to further dilute it.

If watered down wine is good enough for little-uns on the continent, I don't see how half a small wine glass of wine diluted by (plenty) of orange juice is a problem once in a while.

FFS! Orange juice and lemonade "because this one is for the grown-ups".

Not sure about the 3 yr old tho! Orange juice and lemonade there, is what I'd do.

Ah ds is a bright boy he knows he can have alcoholic beverages at home from age 5, however I don't like it one bit but dh says a little wont harm him, as it will be heavily topped with "pop" personally I don't get it, so I'm thinking soda and OJ.

Doesn't help we have lots of family/friends who own pubs and
Restaurants.

Why on gods earth would you consider giving alcohol to a 6 yo?!

3 year old is allergic to citrus acid, so he couldn't have it but soda water in a orange flute is the way to go with him.

When mine were that age, we just used to make theirs with OJ and lemonade, and ours with cava champagne. They always assumed their drink was same as ours :)

DS1 is now 14, and although I'll offer him a glass of the alcoholic stuff on Xmas Day, he will probably refuse and have a Coke instead!

I gave my ds a small glass of Bucks Fizz when he was 15 and he cameout in a rash. Just stick with orange juice and lemonade.

At that age, mine had orange juice with lemonade in champagne flutes. My dd1 (14) will be asked if she wants a small glass of the real thing she won't want it though dd2 (9) would have some if she thought she could get away with it.

6 and 3 is far too young though imho.
