Quick answer
Four drinks work well for a kid's birthday party: Fabulous Fruit Punch, Luscious Lychee Lemonade, a Mint Chocolate Mocktail and a Mangolicious Slushie. All use Swa syrups, each takes about 30 seconds to make, and the syrup-based drinks can be pre-batched before the guests arrive.
Skip the soft drinks and give the party a fruity, colourful option. This one is aimed at home hosts, but the same drinks work on a family-friendly cafe menu. See the flavour collection for more.
How do you set up Fabulous Fruit Punch?
Mix and match syrups and fruit garnishes, and set up a punch station so children can build their own. Flavours to use: Swa Summer Berries syrup, Orange Mint, Lychee Lemon and Mango Passion. It also works for barbecues and playdates.
How do you make Luscious Lychee Lemonade?
Use Swa Lychee Lemon: one part syrup to six parts water and ice. A little lime juice with ice and syrup also works. Serve in mason jars with colourful paper straws for effect.
