I'm having a party this weekend. A good friend of mine was just recently diagnosed with a genetic liver problem and can't ever drink alcohol again. Poor girl. :cry:

But I don't want her to feel left out of the boozing. I wanted to have on hand ingredients to make one or two virgin cocktails for her. I tried googling, but wow...so many of them! I want simple (just a few, easy to find ingredients) and yummy. Don't care necessarily about low calorie.

Who's got a recipe?

    If you turn on ads, there will be one right to the side of this post. I'm interested in the replies as well.

    Frozen Strawberry daquiry

    Get your favorite premade mix (the premade mixes without alcohol) add a few ripe strawberries, ice and instead of rum I add sprite. Top with whip cream and a whole strawberry cut on the glass.

    Great for a hot summer day

    You can do the same with Pinacolata!

    Pina Colada Punch (Make in advance and add rum to individual servings if desired)

    1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple
    1 (8 ounce) can coconut cream
    1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice
    2 cups rum (optional and prevents full freezing)
    1 (2 liter) bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

    In a large plastic container, combine ice cream, crushed pineapple, coconut cream, pineapple juice.
    Mix well and slowly stir in the lemon-lime soda. Freeze for 4 hours or until slushy. Add rum if desired.

    I like virgin mojitos.

    Simple Syrup
    Mint leaves
    Lime
    Club soda

    Muddle 6-10 mint leaves and half a lime in a glass. Add syrup, top with club soda.

    If your friend likes bottles mixers, lots of them work well with some club soda.

    There are also wines with the alcohol removed. There's a trace amount left so I don't know if that's appropriate for them or not. And they might suck, I've never tried them.

    That sounds so good!

    I love peach so this is a virgin peach bellini and so simple.

    1 bottle of sparkling apple cider. ( I like the Martinelli's)
    3 peaches, peeled and chopped.

    Put chopped peaches in freezer for an hour before- to make them just a little frozen

    Then blend 1/2 bottle of cider and the peaches in blender. Pour the pureed mixture into glass and top with remaining cider.
