So I have a “challenge” for you, although I’m sure it’s not a challenge at all (except to me). My husband and I are only social and occasional drinkers. We have recently joined a camping club and they’re definitely a bunch of “partiers”. One “event” that they have on every trip is what they describe as a bar crawl, but instead going from camper to camper. The owners of the campers “job” is to serve up a sampling of an appetizer and a drink to everyone that comes by. It’s always a good time, but this far we have only participated in providing the appetizer part, as again we aren’t big drinkers. Often times people have Jell-O shots and we’ll partake in those too. our next camping trip is valentines week and my husband and I would like to finally participate in offering alcohol. We love fruity drinks and this looks so fitting for the holiday. Here’s my dilemma. There are often kids at this “crawl” too, so we either exclude the kids from our table or we provide something for them too. Since we are one of the families that have kids, we’d like to provide for them too.

Hello Audrey-the good thing about this recipe is that it can made in advance without the ice to avoid the drink getting watered down as the ice melts. And as far as making it an alcoholic cocktail just add 1 1/2 to 2 ounces of your preferred spirit. I have used Smirnoff’s Red, White, and Berry in this recipe and it is a perfect fit. I also highly recommend using Wild Turkey Honey Whiskey in this recipe if your crew our fans of whiskey cocktails. I hope this helps. Let me know.

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I’ll definitely let you know how it goes over.

Can you make this in advanced and in a batch?

Yes, you can make this a few hours before needing to use it, or the night before. Just don’t add the ice until you’re ready to serve it!
