Non Alcoholic Beverages Using Shaker

[straitfan]

Okay guys, I need some ideas to showcase the "shaker" next week. I'm doing a show after school in the cafeteria for about 40 of my fellow teachers. We're making a dessert, salsa (regular and pineapple) and I want to have fun letting them use the shaker to mix up some NABS (being on school property--I have to leave the alcohol out). I plan to recycle the coffee from the teacher's lounge and make iced coffee, but would like 2 or 3 other ideas as well. I know that you guys will come up with some fabulous fun ideas!
TIA

What about shaking flavors iced coffee??? Maybe go buy some caramel, hazelnut, or other flavor syrups like McD's and do them?? I personally would just buy the caramel, lol.

I was thinking about using the flavored creamers, would the syrups be better?

I know here, I can go to Wal-mart or Sam's and buy the same things McD's squirts into the coffees, which does give better taste, again in my opinion.

Today, girl at McD's said, when I ordered she laughed.

She asked, what would you like today??

My reply "I need a large Iced Caramel Coffee"

She laughed and said, I'll make it right away and left my hubby who joined my on his break for breakfast standing there waiting to order, while she got me my coffee, he was like What the H@@@??

Once I had my coffee, she said "ER over now we can proceed with the Non ER ordering", and turned to my hubby and took his order.

I love their coffees, really need to stop, but can't seem to get by without one.

What a hoot! They are pretty tasty! Our Kwik Shops now have pumpkin spice cappucinno, and have whipped cream dispensers next to the machines. Finish with a sprinkle of nutmeg MMMMMMMMMMMM and only 69 cents!

How about Lemon shake ups?
or
Get some of those instant puddings that set in 5 min and shake them, pour them into the martini glasses (or whatever) and let the winner of a drawing get to eat out of them.
or
a fruit mocktail... fruit punch crystals, sliced berries (whatever you want/have), ice and water OR Frozen berries instead of ice!

Love the idea of having a drawing to drink out of the pretty glasses! CUTE!
