Your questions
Can we make cocktails with store-bought fruit juices?
Yes, troubleshooting. But they will never taste like a house cocktail! If you have no choice, opt for “pure juice” (no added sugar) and not reconstituted (for taste). Many are guaranteed in vitamins or minerals. So read the labels carefully.
Can we give cocktails to toddlers?
Sometimes mothers think they are doing the right thing by putting fruit juice in the bottles. It is not recommended before the age of 6 months. Not only does your baby not take it well, but the vitamin C that these fruit juices provide is not necessary for this young age. Breast milk or infant formula contains enough to meet her needs.
