Lightbulb Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drink

Hello eveyone.

I was out with some friends last night and discovered that I am unhappy with my drink options when out at a bar or club. I have been drinking Red Bull or Tonic water with a twist of lime. Neither is appealing to me. I want to avoid drinks with caffeine since it is generally late at night when I am out. What are some of your favorite non-alcoholic drinks that I might try?

Much love,

Jake

How about a Virgin Screwdriver?

Your a guy so I don't know how you feel about "Blended Drinks"
and lots of bars don't even make those.

But if you like juice, why not try something like a

Virgin Sex On The Beach.

Of course don't ask the bartender for a "V- Sex on the beach"

Just tell em you'd like something good like a sex on the beach without alcohol.

I used to bartend, and I know some tenders are jerks. They go by a language code.

Or ask them if they could make you the best possible virgin drink that they know how, cause you don't drink, or your driving or whatever...

If someone asked me to do that for them, as opposed to asking for a
virgin driver, I'd come up with something wonderful for them.

Bar tenders like to have their ego stroked many times. They hate to make anything hard, BUT if it's their idea? It's a whole new ball game.

At least that's how it is where I live. ;-)

Water is definitely good. And when I really want to spice it up, I have my water with lemon and lime! (It's also pretty cheap!) Cranberry juice with a splash of club soda and lime might be pretty tasty too!

I don't drink, but I spend hours and hours in a bar, every day/night. Cranberry / soda/ and (optional) grenadine is my drink of choice. When the bartender takes the "funnel" off the juice gun for the cranberry, and pours it first, the soda water makes a layer on top. I take a twist of lime with it as well. My bartender puts it in a frosty glass, with no ice.

I steer clear of N/A beer......lots of people here have bad experiences with it. What's the saying again?....hummm....oh yeah, Non Alcoholic beer is for Non Alcoholics.

Soda water in a highball glass with ice and lime looks more 'macho' than the cranberry soda layered drink.

Gosh, I realized my last contribution to this thread makes me sound like an ALCOHOLIC!!

Tonic water is nice, but more than 3 in an evening give me a case of heartburn.
