After prayerful consideration of the matter I mentioned above, instead of the soda, maybe for my wife and I a quart of orange juice mixed with a pint of vodka will be preferable
(It will give me flashbacks to the days of outdoor assemblies when groups of us would create various "mixes" and sit in the upper levels of the baseball stadiums they used and just sit and smile; when everybody clapped for whatever reason you clapped).
