CAPTAIN AMERICA FROM

Do you have a superhero dad? Then this drink is for him! It is a bright and colorful, non-alcoholic drink that can easily be adapted to your dads taste buds with his favorite 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!
