What would you serve to drink at a make-your-own-sundae party (for adults,
not children)? I'll have a couple light appetizers as well (dip & veggies,
marinated mushrooms, olive paste & crostini, nothing too fancy) which would
call for wine but I really can't imagine drinking wine with ice cream.
Anyone have any bright ideas?

Thanks!

I'd serve sparkling water with some additives - lemon slices, lime
slices, some flavored syrups (include some sugar-free, just in case).
And coffee for those who can't do without - maybe iced coffee, or not.

You can always have coffee drinks......coffee & Bailey's Irish Creme,
Frangelico, Kahlua, things like that.

Champagne is always appropriate, goes especially well with desserts... in fact
Champagne is dessert.... there are hundreds of Champagne punch recipes.

How about a 'make-your-own cocktail' table where people can create drinks to
go with their sundaes? You needen't provide a huge selection of ingredients,
just a couple of liquers (something coffee flavoured, something chocolate,
something strawberry-flavoured?), plenty of crushed ice, cream, egg whites
etc. and appropriate mixers - plus a couple of cocktail recipes for the
uninspired. Might be a lot of work for you on top of the sundaes, but it's a
thought.

I don't like champagne

Sparkling water with flavored syrup... ain't that what's known as sody pop?

Um, and it's a make-your-own-sundea party, I should hope there'd be flavored
syrups.

(include some sugar-free, just in case).

Just in case of what?

Why would you think wine can't be enjoyed with desserts? There are
hundreds of wines, fortified spirits, and liqueurs that can be served
with dessert -- specifically ice cream.

Ports go well with many chocolates; late harvests (zin, berry-infused,
et al) enhance an already-sweet dessert; champagnes and sparkling
wines sharpen the taste buds through their effervescence. Then there's
always the dessert apértifs (Frangelico, Bailey's, Amaretto, etc.)

Personally, I'd serve a vertical of ports (my favorite is Quinta do
Noval), Bailey's, Frangelico, Krug Champagne, Far Niente Dolce, and
coffee and tea. Also make sure you have different chocolate toppings
available -- not everyone appreciates Hershey's Squirt-n-Glop. G
