Don't let the children feel left out as you let all that champagne flow during your New Year's Eve party.

No, silly, I am not saying that you should give your children alcohol!

Instead, you can prepare fun drinks -- not just your usual soda and juices, mind you -- so the kiddies present would also have something pretty to drink which they can put in tall glasses and decorate with fruits or umbrellas on the side.

Non-alcoholic but fun drinks like...

Frozen Mango Daiquiri
  • 1 ripe mango (about 12 oz) peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons superfine granulated sugar
  • 3 ice cubes
In blender, combine mango, pineapple juice, lime juice ans sugar. Blend on high speed until smooth. Add ice cubes, blend until smooth and slushy. Immediately pour into stemmed glasses and serve.

Mock Margaritas
  • 1 can (12 oz) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed, undiluted
  • 1 can (12 oz) frozen limade concentrate, thawed, undiluted
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 6 cups finely crushed ice
  • 1 bottle (1 liter) club soda, chilled
  • Lime slices
  • Coarse salt
In a 4 quart non-metal container, combine lemonade concentrate, limeade concentrate, confectioners' sugar and crushed ice, mix well. Cover and freeze, stirring occasionally. Remove container from freezer about 30 minutes before serving time, let stand at room temperature to thaw slightly. Sppon 2 cups slush mixture into blender. Add 1 cup club soda. Cover and blend until slushy smooth. To serve, rub rum of glass iwth lime slice and dip rim in coarse salt, then fill the glass with the drink. Garnish with lime slice.
