It’s impossible to host a party without drinks – but too often people keep the drink options at their parties limited to alcohol and sparkling water. A great host makes sure the drink options can be as fun and diverse as the food options. Play around with the drink options at your next party with non-alcoholic party drinks everyone will love.

What’s a party without a nice bowl of punch that guests can help themselves to. With a punch bowl, the flavour options are unlimited. A basic punch bowl is made up of fruit juice, a sweetener, water, and carbonated beverage, as well as other tasty add-in ingredients of your choice. Get out that crystal punch bowl you got as a housewarming gift but never use and get creative with your punch recipe. Be sure you have a ladle available for serving the punch. The best thing about having a punch bowl at your party is that it allows you to sit back and enjoy your party without having to play bartender.

Great for kids and adults alike, lemonade is a perfect drink to serve at family-friendly barbecues and summer parties. You can play around with flavours instead of just sticking to the classic lemon flavour. Flavours like watermelon, raspberry and strawberry are great variations to try out. For extra style points, add lemon slices to the pitcher, and garnish each glass with a slice before serving. You could put also put a twist on your regular lemonade recipe by throwing it in a blender with some ice cream to create refreshing frosted lemonade.

Smoothies don’t have to be limited to cafes and coffee shops, they also make a great summer party drink choice. Take your usual smoothie recipe from being just another great breakfast option to a perfect party drink by sticking to sweeter flavours like strawberry and vanilla. You can also have guests make their own smoothies with a smoothie bar stocked with a variety of fruit and liquid options, add-ons, and a blender.
