Ok so I Broke Down and Ordered the Shaker....and Would Like to Use It

[susanr613]

OK so I broke down and ordered the shaker....and would like to use it at home with DS as well as to show at shows. We are already planning a Harry Potter-thon New Years Eve and I want to make it as memorable as possible.

Does anyone have any non-alcoholic martini/shaker type recipes they would recommend?

TIA!

Re: Fake-tinis?This is going to sound really weird, and you'll have to seal the ice-straining holes with plastic wrap or something, but my mom had a shaker when I was a kid that we used for making instant pudding. Just put 2 cups cold milk and a box of mix in it and shake. It's more fun for kids than using a whisk.

Re: Fake-tinis?We talked about this at our cluster mtg last night. One idea was lemon shake-ups, like you get at the fairs.Use 1 lemon, juiced;2 C water; 1oz sugar. These are approximations based on the lemonade made in the quick stir pitcher.

Re: Fake-tinis?There's a recipe for iced coffee. You could also do just about any fruit juice to make an ade (limeade, grapeade, orangeade, etc.)

Re: Fake-tinis?I love these ideas for the shaker since we dont drink here at my house. I have used it for the carnation instant breakfasts. works great with those.

Re: Fake-tinis?We have tried with iced coffee and it worked wonderfully!

Re: Fake-tinis?Dang, now I have to get the shaker. Oh well, was already planning to get the martini glasses. Be fun to use them with the pudding!

Re: Fake-tinis?Why not try any mixture of juices...I'm thinking right noe about cranberry juice and orande juice with a fresh squeeze of lime and grenadine. Or a nice pineapple juice with coconut milk and a drop of rum extract anything goes I think but this may not make sens as I am a martini man....lol
Be creative!!!
