Captain America From: Five Little Chefs
Do you have a superhero dad? Then this drink is for him! It is a bright and colourful, non-alcoholic drink that can easily be adapted to your dads taste buds with his favourite liquor! Personally I would suggest a nice vodka to balance out the sweetness of the drink! Or, if you prefer, leave it kid friendly and let everyone feel like a superhero for the day! Be sure to get your superhero party supplies and go all out with the theme to spoil your own hero!

I love these ideas! I want to make my husband the Captain America for Father’s Day!
We made that one last summer, it is really yummy!!!
Can I have one of each? 😉
Only if you make enough to share ; )
Nothing like a good cocktail in the summertime!
I’m dying at the grumpy old man drink!
It turned out to be one of our favorites, so tasty!
How fun! I think my husband would like the Captain America.
What “Superhero Dad” wouldn’t love such a fun drink right!?
We’re actually sober here, lol! But I’m sure these would be great for those who can imbibe!
I often make my own variations without alcohol, adding in soda water or tonic instead just to add to it. Either way, they are all delish! 🙂
I’ve gotta try the Captain America! Such a cute drink!
I know right, I love the colors!!
Arnold Palmer to the rescue.
