Non-alcoholic drink options
 

Hi all,

I've done a search for this, and can't find a suitable thread in existence (I'm sure it does exist somewhere - so feel free to point me that way!).

So many of you on here feel there are likeable, non-alcohol drinks available for nights out (or nights in, as my wife continues to have a regular glass of wine) but I've yet to track down anything I really like.

Except Diet Coke. And additives and caffeine mean a third round of the stuff in an evening really isn't an option!

Heck, I'll survive on sparkling water or whatever. But thought you might have a recommendation to try.

I drink water usually. In the morning I have some apple cider vinegar with water. It goes down like the vodka used to except it is good for me.

I drink seltzer with a twist of lime or lemon and all sorts of flavored sparkling waters which are additive free. I have developed a passion for diet ginger beer. It does have sucralose, but the taste and zip are very satisfying to me.

I like good old orange juice. :)

Feel you pain here !

I go through sparkling water like there's no tomorrow (I dont even like water).

Tasty non-alcoholic are either (or both) loaded with sugar and expensive as all hell.

Diet Ginger Beer with LOTS of ice is my flash drink !

I heard an interesting combo if heading out: soda, lots of ice, lime and a splash of chili sauce inside (the Capsaicin gives you a bit of a natural kick). - looking forward to trying that.

sparkling water for me :)

I have a few go to drinks:

Arizona Zero (I do the caffeine free for evenings)

Sparkling water, and sometimes I mix it with orange juice, or Minute Maid 15 calorie juice

Crystal light raspberry

La Croix sparkling flavored waters

Lemon or lime iced water

I am still guilty of too much caffeine during the day, I like Coke Zero and Diet Dr. Pepper.

Sparkling water, green tea or coffee.
But mainly sparking water

I drink lots of Le Croix. I also like to add the Monin sugar free flavors to the plain le croix. Torani is good too but not as good as the Monin.

I infuse water with different stuff. My two favorite combos are lemon, orange ginger or strawberry, cucumber mint. I get really sick of plain water.

I love green tea with honey, iced or hot. I also take fruit flavored herb teas and make them into iced teas. There's an endless number to choose from.

I pretty much only drink water after my one cup of coffee in the morning. With my dinner I may get fancy and put a slice of lemon in the water. If I'm feeling super frisky, a couple ice cubes.

chocolate milk- goes with anything any time.

I love Asda's Cream Soda , their cherries and berries squash and Twinings ginger and lemon herbal tea. Failing that sparkling water hits the spot.

(I swear I don't have shares in Asda by the way :-) Just happens that I find their stuff tasty and reasonably priced).

Sorry - meant to say Diet Cream Soda and Diet cherries and berries squash - low on sugar. (He*lls teeth - I do sound like I work there. Sorry).

Water fan here too
Also, Pellegrino (specifically, though some other good ones are ok too) with lots of lime
Diet Ginger Ale

Coffee in the am - I love various brands of Vanilla- then all that other stuff during the day, with a Diet Coke thrown in maybe 3 days a week around lunchtime.

I'm never shy about "just" having water.

I usually have Club Soda with a shot of lemon juice throughout the day. Coffee of course. LOL. WAAAAAy too much coffee now actually. theres always a variety of pop, juice etc in the fridge. No booze in our fridge anymore. My wife still drinks her 1-3 glasses of red wine, but that bad boy stays on the counter.

I hear ya about the caffeine. Here’s what I like: a club soda or sparkling water with a splash of ginger ale and a twist of lime. I keep the ginger ale to a minimum because even though there are some healthier non fructose corn syrup options, most of them have a lot of sugar.

Water, coffee, tea(black, green, iced, hot), flavored seltzer(I found a blood orange that's great).

I avoid sodas. Really bad for you. I just don't like sweet beverages.

Im with the diet cream soda and diet ginger beer brigade. But I do have diet coke if Im feeling rebellious!

Tonic water, green tea, ginger beer.

Sparkling water with cranberry or grapefruit juice is pretty solid.

If I'm at home, I'll either use the Soda Stream or crack open a few cans of LaCroix.
