What's your favourite non-alcoholic soft drink?

..mine is currently sparkling elderflower water. I still drink from a wine glass because I like the shape. I like to discover new soft drinks to keep things interesting. I'm lucky in that I live in the multicultural spot in my city with lots of ethnic shops nearby . most of the owners are Muslim so therefore don't drink alcohol and they stock some interesting soft drinks some quite exotic. 😊

Coffee!

Kombucha! (Particularly GTs trilogy kombucha on ice w/ a spash of grapefruit juice).

Wild Sweet Orange tea.

Diet Coke.

I've never had elderflower water, sounds interesting.

Cold drink - ginger beer!
Hot drink wise I love an oat/coconut milk flat white

Currently drinking a cherry and cinnamon herbal tea. It's delicious.. tastes just like cherry bakewells and really helping curb the sweet cravings

Squash a wedge of lemon on the bottom of a glass, lime cordial, ice and top up with soda water.

I like Robinsons Barley Squash and Ribena, but as a Brit living in the USA I have to buy them from expat shops at inflated prices

Also love macha latte

Salt at the bottom of the glass, ice on top, about half a lime squeezed in there, water to fill the glass, and swirl it around with a spoon. Made at home obviously, but I make a lot of Mexican food so I usually carry somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 to 105 limes. It's tasty and good for canker sores.

Carbonated water with "light salt" and fake orange flavoring. So yummy.

Mmm.. wild sweet orange tea sounds nice . As does the cherry & cinnamon. Sparkling elderflower is a good substitute for champagne / prosecco ! I had a turmeric latte coffee yesterday in a cafe , which sounds weird, but it was delicious! It had coconut in it too.

I love Pepsi.

If I'm out socially my go to drink is club soda with a splash of cranberry and lime.

Tea (the British type)
Coke Zero or Pepsi Max
Orange and soda

NerfThis mentioned Robinsons Barley Squash. I'm not too keen on that but I do love Robinsons Summer Fruits Squash.

I actually preferred the bog standard Robinsons orange squash tbh, but it was initially a lot more of a pain to get over here. I've really taken a liking to the orange barley one now, but luckily it's now easier to get both

Like any brewed product - Ginger beer and lemonade, ciders- there are 'hard' varieties and 'soft' varieties of Kombucha out there so it's important people do their research before consuming

Seltzer - all kinds but my fav is orange vanilla
I make my own beet kvass at home
Today I had my first oat milk latte which I blame for me still being up right now
I like vanilla oak kombucha and it’s nonalcoholic but you have to make sure you check those labels
Coffee
All kinds of tea
Carbonated tea is a thing here where I live. I love it.

A cup of english tea (proper PG Tips not that wishy washy "english breakfast tea" you get in hotels)

Elderflower cordial and soda water


Purdeys (carbonated botanical drink)

Hibiscus Tea (this is awesome, great deep red colour and actually has some flavour as aposed to most herbal tea which i find smells lovely but just tastes like hot water!)

Ginger Beer (like Dee said I always check this now as in the UK Ginger Beer is never alcoholic but in the last couple of years they have started selling the alcoholic version. The week that I came back from rehab I went for fish and chips and ordered a ginger beer not thinking for one second that it would be alcoholic. The glass turned up and it looked like a beer glass with a lime on the top...for some reason I decided to look at the bottle and was shocked to realise it was 6% ABV! I am so glad I looked as the last thing I want is to end up drinking alcohol by accident)

Pineapple juice with ginger ale. Not too sweet and feels vaguely healthy.

Seltzer water with a splash of tonic. Sometimes with a wedge of lime if on hand.
