Drink Ideas?

We are throwing a Texas themed baby shower this weekend, serving BBQ with all the fixings.  However, I am having a hard time with drink ideas or recipes.  We purchased two glass beverage dispensers, and were thinking something like lemonade or limade (one spiked, one not).  Does anyone have any recipes or suggestions for what we should serve for drinks?  Thanks!

Re: Drink Ideas?

  • You gotta have sweet tea for a Texas shower!
    I always love serving chilled ice water filled with lemon and cucumber slices with sprigs of mint in it. So refreshing.

    How about sangria for the spiked drink?

     

  • sweet tea, or some flavored lemonade (raspberry, blueberry, pomegranate) - woudl be awesome.

     

    I love the sangria idea, but was thinking nothing beats classic margaritas for spiked drinks! :)

  • My first thought was tea, but oh how I hate sweet tea. 
  • I like PP's suggestions:

    non-alcoholic: fancy water with lemon, cucumbers and mint
    alcoholic: lemon-lime margaritas (yum!)

    I'm not really a fa of sweet tea either, but if you think you need tea, how about a raspberry or peach tea?

    GL!  Sounds like fun! 

    Is it co-ed?  If it is, I'd consider throwing in some bottes of beer. 

  • My first thought was sweet tea, given the Texas theme. I don't like sweet tea, though. I'm from the north where we don't ruin perfectly good tea with a bunch of sugar :-)

    I think lemonade is pretty universally liked. It would be a very safe choice. Raspberry lemonade or strawberry lemonade would be good choices too.

    I vote for margaritas for the alcoholic drink! Easy, refreshing and yummy.
