Favorite Party-Sized Non-Alcoholic Drink

[Anonymous]

Looking for recommendations for a non-alcoholic and fancy punch that I can make in advance for a grown-up party. Not too sugary sweet and fizzy ingredients (club soda, sodas) can be added just before serving. Need large volumes -- cannot be mixed and served per person. Thanks!

I like cherry limeade. Mix a 2-liter bottle of sprite with about a cup of fresh lime juice and 1/2 cup grenadine. Have lime slices and maraschino cherries for garnish.

You could also make nonalcoholic mojitos - leave out the rum and proportionally increase the club soda and simple syrup in its place. Tons of mint!

Nothing like a big batch of Tang. Very refreshing on a hot day.

Lavender lemonade. Add fizz or not.

Put a big pitcher of lemonade, sweetened as you like it, in fridge with sliced oranges and strawberries at least 24 hours before party, though 36 is better. I always did this for holidays for the kids, but can add sprite or ginger ale for a more adult tasting drink.

Not punch, but rosemary lemonade.

Simple, but water infused with mint/cucumber/strawberry/etc.

Recipe from Disney World's Boma restaurant (it is not too sweet). I make in huge batches (and I assume they do too), so scale this up.

+1. Not everyone wants a sugary lemonade.

I enjoy that, too, but to me a party drink is something more than just water with fruit added.

I'd serve that plus something else, even if, heaven forbid, the other thing contains sugar.

NP. Yes was waiting to see if someone had said this already. This is the one.

I was totally going to suggest this, but figured it would be frou-frou enough for DCUM. If you were not serving this in the 80s/90s, your party was trash.
