Disney Party: Drinks (the non-alcoholic kind)

Howdy!

I'm just gonna get straight in with part 3...

For this next part, for when everyone has arrived, we need to think about the socialising stage.

We're talking non-alcholic drinks (sticking to a childish theme) and a place to sit and relax.

By non-alcoholic drinks, we went for Disney- style 'mock-tails':

• Shrek
• Barbie
• Frozen

The contents of these were each specified for the movie:

• Shrek: green: mint-flavoured squash (Waitrose)/ lemonade + green food colouring
• Barbie: pink & floral: lucozade/ pink lemonade/ lemonade + pink food colouring, strawberries & raspberries 
• Frozen: blue & icey: powerade/ lemonade + blue food colouring, blueberries, ice

The obvious must-haves for these mock-tails are cocktail glasses, straws and umbrellas (all purchasable in Poundland). The fruit should have a cut in it so it can either be skewered onto the straw, or slotted on the side of the glass.

You also need bottles to hold them in, for which we used glass re-usable bottles from Ikea, and failing that milk bottles (sterilise). We then decorated these with a label which, as you will later see, matches the afternoon tea-party theme, 'Drink Me' and on the flip side the movie 'Shrek'. (You might also want to list ingredients if you know that some people might be allergic).

To top off the beginning of the party, lay out some chairs, a table, maybe, to sit round, and some small nibbles- and there you have the basis of a plan!

Try it out,

P.S. Small nibbles mean really small amounts as much more food is yet to come!
