Daiquiri for kids

UK _ A FURIOUS Sheffield mum has slammed a restaurant after her six-year-old son became ill when he accidentally drank an alcoholic cocktail.
Kent Di-Nitto was sick and dizzy after drinking most of what he thought was a booze-free Strawberry Daiquiri from the children's drinks menu at Damon's Restaurant, in Sevenairs Road, Beighton.
Today angry mum Paula told The Star: "If my son had been two years old, not six, then he could be dead.
"The problem is the children's cocktails have the same name as those for adults. It's ridiculous. They should change the name of the children's cocktails, otherwise this could happen again and the consequences could be even worse."
Kent became ill minutes after finishing the drink which was bought by a 12-year-old friend during his mum's 35th birthday meal.
The terrified adults in the party sipped the cocktail to check for booze and demanded bread and water from the waitress to soak up the alcohol.
Paula, from Woodhouse, even phoned the police but was told the restaurant hadn't committed a criminal offence because Kent hadn't physically bought the drink and it was down to human error. She later phoned NHS Direct, who told her to check Kent regularly during the night. He has now made a full recovery.
Paula said: "We used to go to the restaurant quite a lot but we won't be going back now."
Damon's Restaurant manager Lee Foulston said: "It was a mistake on behalf of the person who took the order and we are investigating the matter.
"The drink was originally bought by a 12-year-old girl but she didn't like the taste and, for whatever reason, it was given to the six-year-old.
"The children's cocktails are clearly marked with the word 'Virgin' so we would argue that the adults' and children's drinks do not have the same name."
