Need drink ideas for when you go to dinner I don't drink pop/sodas. Tired of water all the time. No coffee at night. What do you order? Looking for something not to high in sugar or calories -like fresh lemonade (yum!) Are there any creative ideas, or is it water? |
My favourite is sparkling water with freshly sliced lime in it or sometimes, to feel a bit fancy, my boyfriend and me order non alcoholic cocktails with dinner. But yes there's a definite lack of not overly sugary alcohol free drinks. Maybe someone wants to invent any, please? :) |
I am a big fan of Pellegrino mineral water with lemon and lime. It's refreshing, it's good for you, it's tasty and it bubbles so it has the 'feel' of something other than 'just water'. it's my #1 go-to. |
I'm the same boring really, just a sparkling water with some lime juice and ice. I find it refreshing and different to the usual diet cokes etc. I avoid the virgin cocktails, down to the amount of sugar in them, plus personally for me, its dicing too close to something alcoholic and I worry it will trigger a craving for a 'real' cocktail. That is personal though. there are some alcohol free cider and beers, but again, too afraid it could create me wanting the real thing. Some people find them helpful though. |
I like cranberry juice |
Sparkling water for me, too. Club soda works, too. |
Unsweet iced tea. |
I've always been an iced tea guy. I noted you mentioned no coffee at night. I don't think iced tea has nearly the caffeine as coffee. Having said that, Southern-style "sweet tea" is absolutely vile. |

Hate to repeat others here but in social situations, I drink club soda with a lime wedge or with cranberry juice. I love sweetened iced tea but almost no place, outside of the south has it available, or makes it well if they do. |
Sparkling water with a twist it is! I was afraid to go down the n/a beer route. Iced tea is ok, but only fresh. Nationals chains don't have that. |
I always order water with lemon and it's always FREE. :) |
Sparkling or plain water, always. |
This is what I drink and it's awesome! Refreshing, tart and hits the spot. 1 freshly squeezed lemon 1/4 C cranberry juice 1 C sparkling lemon water (or plain) YUM! |

I do cran juice and sparkling water but ^^^^^^^ this sounds yum!! |
Nothing with a twist, for whatever reason lemons and limes are notoriously never washed before being cut and served. Yuck! Arnold Palmer - half lemonade, half iced tea. Now I want one! Or a strawberry lemonade! |
Water with lemon |
Those sound tasty. If not a twist how do you get the lime juice? Is it from a can? Or do they squeeze it and add it? I can see them throwing the lime in anyway |
