Up until I was about 12, our family had a vacation tradition of spending two weeks of August in Duck, North Carolina. Gradually, the rest of our extended family would migrate down, and we would eventually gather 11 people in one beach house to celebrate a host of summer birthdays and anniversaries. My cousin and my sister and I spent 8 hours per day on the beach and generally had an amazing time, but occasionally things got rocky, and then my dad would make Sun Fizzies. Sometimes he would make them just for the heck of it. I enjoyed these more for the name than the actual flavor since they contained orange juice (which I HATE). Eventually, however, the drink arsenal was expanded to include most of the planets and other celestial bodies, and I've added a few more.
A fizzie is some sort of mixer combined with seltzer, and served over ice. Start with half seltzer, half mixer, and adjust from there. I've listed the mixers for each below
Sun Fizzie: orange juice
Venus Fizzie: apple juice
Mars Fizzie: cranberry-raspberry juice
Jupiter Fizzie: apple juice with a maraschino cherry for the red spot
Saturn Fizze: orange juice, garnished with rings of orange, lemon, and lime.
Uranus Fizzie: blue raspberry kool-aid
Asteroid Belt: grape juice and pop-rocks
Super Nova: No seltzer. Instead, equal parts of ginger ale and cran-ras juice, and optionally a splash of grenadine.
