Sister gave my 10 month old sips of non-alcoholic mojito

I'm really not happy that my sister (21) has given my 10 month old DS sips of her non-alcoholic mojito. What's made me quite upset is that she said it's not the first time she's given him this! She makes it with syrup and a mojito can just for context on how sugary and sweet this is.
I've explained countless times that I only give him water or breastmilk for fluids throughout the day. I have never offered him fruit juice, cordial/squash or any other drinks loaded with sweetners. It's actually bothered me and makes me feel like my parenting is undermined when I have to justify my decision not to offer certain foods or drinks.
Some weeks ago she said I was going to give him issues with food as he grows up as I didn't want him having ice cream, especially just before his dinner.
Just feeling quite bothered by this.

I couldn’t get worked up about this either… it’s the sort of thing aunties are allowed to do! Although her having a go at you when you asked her to stop doing it was not on.
Honestly- I was probably like this with my eldest. Despite my best intentions she loves eating rubbish and would survive on purple monster munch if left alone.

This wouldn’t bother me. It’s just a tiny sip.

My auntie however got my 10 month old drunk on pimms when she was a baby by feeding her all the fruit that had been sat soaking in the jugs all day.

@Bigballer

Completely inappropriate. The legal drinking age is five so 8 months in out of order.
The entire thread says it was non-alcoholic!

It's literally just fruit juice and water.
