In Honor of my daughter being a Senior in high school my Mom in law wants to host a Senior party for her and friends.
Mom suggested Virgin Strawberry Daiquries as one possibility.
Any other Ideas ?

Sounds like a fun l'il shin-dig, Francie! My niece too is a senior this year... boy, will she be jealous of your daughter's virgin daiquiries!

Ya know... the oil camps up in Alaska were all "dry"- alcohol was against regulation, and possession or intoxication could get one fired. But on special days like Super Bowl, Father's Day and a few others we had "Near Beer" products shipped up. Heinekin and Miller both make a 1% alcohol beer. The guys drank up every drop- and STILL acted half-nuts! They were so funny to watch!
