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

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]]

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.

Frobishers do some really nice soft drinks too.

Thank you 4forkssake. I will have a look.

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