Expert Tips and Recipes Notes

Add a colored rim or garnish to the drink for a fun touch.
Add party-themed ice cubes or frozen fruit shapes for fun. Frozen lemons, limes or raspberries are great options that keep the drink chilled and tasty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sparking grape juice alcoholic?

This mocktail recipe is a non-alcoholic option that is suitable for all ages as it contains only juice and club soda. If an alcoholic version is desired, swap the club soda with the spirits of your choice just before serving such as Champagne or sparkling wine.

Can you make in advance?

The lemon and lime juice can be stirred with the grape juice concentrate in advance. We strongly recommend waiting to add the club soda right before serving for best results.

This refreshing drink can be poured into champagne flutes or small plastic cups and served with or without a straw. Festive ingredients such as fresh fruit can be added to the cups or on the rim for fun. While this recipe is great around the holidays, think of this mocktail the next time you need a beverage for kids to enjoy.

How To Serve For A Party

Here is how to scale up these mocktails to make sparking drinks for a large group.

Choose the Cups: Decide between plastic cups or champagne flutes before the start of the party. If you know the kids attending in advance, you can also write their names on the cups with a marker or add a sticker.

Set Up a Serving Station: Designate a table or counter as the mocktail-making station. Arrange the cups, juices and club soda for easy access.

Pre-Mix the Juice: To keep things easy, mix the lemon, lime and grape juice before the party starts. You can even take it a step further by adding the appropriate amount of juice to each cup so that way all kids will need to do is add the club soda.

Help Young Kids: Ask another adult at the party to help pour the club soda for younger kids to keep the area mess-free.

Garnish Station: Consider offering a variety of toppings and garnishes for the drinks on the side for kids to pick from to customize their drink.

Kids In The Kitchen

Cooking tips and suggestions for kids making this recipe.

It can be fun to watch the club soda fizz to the top of the glass. An easy way to prevent a mess is to pour slowly into each cup. Help young kids learn how to fill a cup without it bubbling over.
Have leftover grape concentrate? Pour into ice cube trays for an easy way to freeze and use for later. If you don’t have access to ice cube trays, pour the concentrate into a mason jar, plastic container or Ziploc bag.
Teach kids how to juice a lemon and lime so they can learn how to squeeze out the juice and discard the seeds.
