Hey Ashfa,
At a recent family barbeque my husband's family served 'virgin' pina coladas and they were yummmmmmmyyyyy. They have tons of calories and sugar but for one day it's not gonna kill anyone. You will need pineapple juice, pina colada mixer from the grocery store (it's basically cream of coconut, and non-alcoholic--you can substitute cream of coconut in cans if you're opposed to buying the mixer because of the association with alcohol), ice, and a blender. Try putting equal parts of each in the blender and using 'blend' speed for about 10-15 seconds and you have a yummy, cold drink.

I also like making sparkling fruit punch with different mixtures of juice and soda. Try this recipe:

1 qt. ginger ale
1 qt. club soda
1 qt. orange juice
1 qt. Hi-C fruit punch
1 c. lemon juice
Slices of fruit as a floating garnish---orange, lemon, and pineapple slices, maybe some maraschino cherries
ice

Pour all the liquids in a punch bowl (I find it stays more sparkly if I pour the sodas before the juices), then gently add the fruit garnishes. Yum!
