[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up we always had sparkling apple cider at special events.  The adults toasted with champagne, we toasted with apple cider.  We all used the same champagne glasses.

We did this at holidays, or on a birthday, on New Year's eve too.  I never even thought about it being a "mocktail" but it certainly was.  Same as shirley temples etc.

I think I'd be more annoyed if they called them "mocktails" instead of just "fun drinks" but whatever.

We also used to buy candy cigarettes when I was little!  I never cared for smoking the real thing, but I did enjoy that little puffft of sugar you could blow out of those things.[/quote]

Yeah, we didn't call them mocktails, but we certainly had non-alcoholic versions of alcoholic drinks.  Often in "fancy" glasses.  I think the name mocktail is kind of stupid, but they're basically just slushies that taste like coconut or limeade or whatever.  [/quote]

My grandfather, God rest his soul, would spit out his Old Style in disgust if someone told him that the Bucky Dent (the boy's version of the Shirley Temple, because the 80's) was a mocktail.  [/quote]
