Valentine’s Day Drinks for kids and adults
I have had so much fun making drinks for myself and my kids. You can make these alcoholic or nonalcoholic depending on your needs. They taste good either way! I made three different drinks that can be made for kids or for adults. You can spice it up or play it down for kids.
Here’s the Valentine’s Day drinks recipes for adults and children.
The first one I did was for kids.
The ingredients in this drink for kids was: watermelon kool aid, sugar, lemon lime and ice. I made the kool aid up in a pitcher ( 1 pack of koolaid, 1 cup of sugar and 2 quarts of water). I then did half and half lemon lime and kool aid. It was bubbly and very tasty. The kids loved it and would feel so special having this as their dinner drink on Valentine’s Day. Put it in a nice wine glass and they would feel special on a day filled with love.
The adult drinks were next. The first one I made was the strawberry margarita spritzer. The recipe was:
1 shot of rum
1/8 cup of strawberry margarita mix
6 oz of lemon lime
Add crushed ice and enjoy! This was yummy. I do not like a lot of alcohol in mine. You can adjust this as needed. But if alcohol is tasted in my drink I almost can’t drink it.
My second drink for adults I made was made like the kids drink. I made a watermelon rum mixer.
For this I used the kool aid I had already made (about 4 oz).
To that I added a shot of rum (0r 2 depending on your tastes) , lemon lime soda (4 oz) and crushed ice.
This tasted really yummy too. I just needed the little umbrella while I was drinking it. Oh and a pool boy. Who doesn’t need an umbrella drink and a pool boy?
Making special Valentine’s Day Drinks is fun for you and the kids.
What kind of drinks do you like? Have you ever thought of mixing up new drinks for the kids? Leave me a comment and let me know.

These sound fun and refreshing! I like the idea of a watermelon drink, yum! Stopping by from the Pintastic party and also pinning this.
I usually just take lemon lime soda and add a shot of flavored vodka.
I would probably stick with the kids drinks lol i don’t do alcohol
thanks for the delicious recipes!
My kids are both adults now so we’d like a rum drink please. 🙂
YOU COULD HAVE ALSO TAKEN ANOTHER FRUIT FLAVOR OR EVEN SMALL PIECES OF FRUIT & FROZE THEM IN CUTE ICE SHAPES TO GO IN THE DRINKS
I always loved the punches at baby showers with the sherbert in them!
Some great ones here
I would love the margarita spritzer right now, thanks for the recipes!
I’m all for the adult drinks! Sounds delicious!….and sooooo pretty!
Cute idea!
going to use these recipes thanks
these sound easy & good
I always like making two kinds of drinks, one nonalcoholic, even for adults who have to be careful about meds. These are such great ideas.
maybe not a healthy drink but looks fun and tasty!!
I want to try the watermelon rum mixer. Looks great!
Wow. The drinks sound so delicious. I will have to try these. Thanks a lot. And yes, I could use a pool boy and an umbrella drink……….STAT!
What yummy drinks!!!
Such a cute way to make kids feel special on V-day! Love the idea.
i love all the ideas
I like the kids version. I’ll to try it and see if my grandchildren like it.
I like the Mc Donald frappe drinks. Lots of caramel and whipped cream.
Loveeee both ideas and the fact that I can put the kids in the wine glass to make them feel special!!
My grandson would love the drink….have a special heart glass for him
These sound yummy! I love how easy they are & that the kids can help make them!
All of them sound delicious. Thanks for the ideas. Happy Valentine’s Day!
You can use 100% juice and seltzer and a scoop of sherbet for a bit of a healthier twist.
I love this idea and the fact that it can work for kids and adults, makes all feel special!
Watermelon rum mixer….YUM
this a cute idea but we have decided to cut out processed drinks
thanks I will try this with the kids
Love the ideas! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be making these.
This looks so yummy. We’ll have to make it for Valentines! 🙂
I love both of these drink ideas. You could also change the kool-aid color for different holidays.
Great idea Mary~~
Another great use for Kool-Aid.. Thanks..
These look REALLY GOOD. Thanks for the ideas!
great ideas they sounb good!
Fun drinks for the whole family – awesome!
Thanks for some great recipes!! I love this site..awesome ideas
I haven’t made my own, but the kids love sparkling juices in wine glasses during the holidays. They feel so special
Yummy!
Great ideas for drinks! And if you are worried about your kid breaking your wine glasses, you could always go out and buy some plastic ones at a party store. That way they can still feel fancy and you cane keep your glasses in tact. 🙂
I love this recipe, I would definitely drink this. I have not had Cool Aid since I was a child, thank you for sharing this recipe.
These are great ideas, and I love that they can be made for any special occasion.
This sounds really good, but I would substitute vodka for the rum.
The watermelon rum mixer sounds yummy! We have some really good rum from Jamaica that would make this drink really good.
Fun!!
these sound interesting. I like the idea of watermelon flavor.
Love the kid recipe. My nieces always want Shirley Temples, so I’m sure they would love this “cocktail”!
Some great recipes for drinks, thank you
i absolutely love the watermelon kool-aid and keep it on hand so this would be great! thanks!
These sound really good! Thanks for the ideas!
Its so cold outside burrrr! I am thinking about Hot chocolate with little variety colored marshmallows on top! The kids Love it! Seems more appropriate for Now anyhow! Lol! I haven’t seen this much snow in a long time. Have a Great Day!
Thanx for sharing. they all sound good and refreshing.
Nice, simple ideas, means they’re more likely to be carried out in my home. There are some flavored rums that might work as well (for the adult drinks of course)!
Great idea and sounds yummy too!
great idea very easy
these would also be great for a 4th of July party
I love making different kinds of punch. This is a fun idea for Valentine’s Day. My kids would love to help me mix up some different flavored drinks for them.
Great ideal looks simple I bet it taste delicious also
Pinned! Can’t wait to try these! 🙂
These sound fun, thanks for the ideas 🙂
Simple and tasty !
Yummy! This looks really good. Great idea!
I love the idea of having special drinks for the kids and the adults both. My little guys would feel pretty special having their own versions.
This will go over real well in my house. We often mix kool-aid with lemon lime pop because it actually saves money… we cut down on using the sugar because of the sugar in the pop, and don’t have to buy it as often… We can get a 3 liter of pop for $1.
Watermelon drinks what can I say but yummm. I will have to get to the store to get the things to make these. They sound like a winner to me.
Great recipes. Bring on the margaritas!
Those look really good!
I could use one right now! lol
The kids drinks would be all I could try, but they are festive for V-day.
I am sure the kids would enjoy crushed ice in their drinks as well.
Not a strawberry drink person but It would probably taste goos with another flavoe
great ideas!! My kids also like when you take a can of frozen cranberry juice and mix it with a 2 liter bottle of seven up.
Oh I’ve done that too Dawn and it’s one of my favorites as well. If I can keep the cranberry juice that long they drink juice so fast at my house! 🙂
Cute and simple idea! It will give the kids a chance to enjoy a drink with the adults and feel like they are a part of the celebration!
I love the fact that it is basically the same drink that way the kids dont feel left out!
The strawberry margarita spritzer sounds delicious.
watermelon and lime are refreshing ingredients ..
I love that you gave the non-alcoholic versions too! Thanks for linking up with the Tasty Tuesday’s Link-up. I have pinned your post to the Tasty’s Tuesday’s Pinterest Board!
