While you're watching the Emmys, be sure to celebrate and raise a toast to these top nominees: Glee (FOX), Mad Men (AMC), 30 Rock (NBC), Lost (ABC), True Blood (HBO) and The Good Wife (CBS).
For the kids, we’ve got a great mock-tail that they can enjoy as they sing along to their favorite Glee episode.
It uses antioxidant rich, acai juice – which really tastes great!
We give this non-alcoholic drink an A+ and round of applause!
For an extra pop, feel free to add in some VeeV, (1 ½ oz) of the world’s first acai spirit!

We like this cocktail because it resembles nature – but thankfully, not an island or black smoke.

The specialty cocktail for the True Blood fans – like the vamps that they adore - has to be a drink that is mysterious, misunderstood, and little bit naughty.

Bright side: You can STILL make some Cocktails!
Hmmm this would make a good post on BMWK. Do you give your kids Mocktails :-)
I don't have kids, but the ones that call my "auntie" do enjoy "Big Girl" drinks. Using lemon-lime soda, instead of Vodka, gives them their own little "buzz" -- if you will. They like that the soda bubbles fizzes and tickles their noses.
