What drink for everyone at a family party?
Discussion
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I have one of these:
Family party (son's christening)
They'll be 20 of us, mostly adults, varying ages.
What drink can I make lots and lots of that would fill or part fill the container that is a crowd pleaser?
Something that most people will go for, all ages, men and woman alike?
Any suggestions appreciated!

Spring/summer party - day or evening.
Daytime in nice weather it has to be Pimms.
For the women Daytime in nice weather it has to be Pimms.
Although I'm not averse to a glass of Pimms on a summers day after a couple I'm craving a proper drink i.e. beer.

Actually, it probably wouldn't work, it would clog up the tap.

Mojito does work in those, we've used our one for Mojito a few times, just give it a shake if a bit of lime/mint covers the tap.Actually, it probably wouldn't work, it would clog up the tap.
What about homemade lemonade (sugar, water/ice and lots of fresh sliced lemons). If you want to spice it up a bit, add some chopped ginger (and even a chopped lime), and leave it to stand for a few hours before stirring up and serving.
If you're feeling brave, there's no harm in spiking it with a drop of Limoncello or Absolut Citron.

I can save you some time here OP.
My OH got a pair of those for our engagement party with the plan of mixing up a pair of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails in them.
I was tasked with 'giving them a good clean' on the afternoon of the party whilst she went out to get some last minute bits and pieces.
"Well", thinks I, "these will probably need some good old boiling water through them to get them good and clean" so I popped them into the sink and put the kettle on.
I filled one up, picked it up to pour it out and realised that it was f
king hot (because I had just poured boiling water inside, it seems) so I promptly dropped it on top of the other one. Our sink is a china, Belfast type one, so both were effectively caught between a rock and a hard place and immediately smashed into millions of pieces, leaving me with nothing but a sink full of boiling water and broken glass.
The OH was furious but nobody said "It was a good night but the lack of a giant cocktail dispenser ruined it for us" so I consider that a job well done! Saved me from doing any actual cleaning, saved me from having to think what to put in them, saved me the cost of the booze and saved me clearing up after. fking result, and all it took was a mild row about it with the OH.
