Golden wedding cocktail

I'm in charge of making this for a garden party in a few weeks. Any ideas ?
I need a mocktail to go with it
I have a few family favourites but wanted to do something different

I'd make a punch in a giant bowl then guests can help themselves, rather than making individual cocktails! You can pick up cheap punch bowls in charity shops.

I can't find my favourite recipe, but it had tropical fruit juice and lemonade in it. Make a giant ice cube using a glass bowl or silicone cake tin. Fill with lemonade/water/champagne etc and add mint/strawberries or which ever fruit goes with the cocktail- freeze. Briefly dip the tin in hot water to release it, and use it in the cocktail punch to keep it all cool.

Something that looks gold would be fitting which suggests something like Prosecco and peach schnapps (you can get a cheaper version than Archers from Aldi/Lidl I think.) Adding Peach nectar or tropical fruit juice would make it go further.

Mocktail - pineapple juice & ginger ale, with ice and sprigs of mint is really refreshing.

Or Smirnoff gold. Some cocktail recipes too:

Make a classic champagne cocktail and add edible gold leaf flakes to it.

Ella’s does a fruit pouch aimed at 4 months plus which is really smooth puréed peaches and if you add it to Prosecco it’s amazing.

What about aperlol spritzer? That's goldish!

What I wouldn't give to have been in the room when you made that discovery @JustKeep Grin

It was a barkeeper friend who suggested it! He was rooting through my cupboards refusing to believe I had no mixers and found the pouches :)
