do you drink with meals & need a recipe for a light drink

sunshineinAZ

I am having a small get together and making a pate w/ flax crackers for appetizer - mock tuna salad - and choc. pie for desert. Looking for an idea for a light drink.

Is it true you should not drink with your meals? I've read you should drink 20 minutes before or 2 hrs after. What are your thoughts.

Would love a snazzy simple drink to go with my dinner.

thanks!
