Non alcoholic drinks - which are actually nice?

[4PawsGood]

I did a search but two words are too much for the search. Also could be worded as alcohol-free I guess.

I’m seeing loads of new alcohol free drinks. Any of them taste nice?

Tonic water with ice and lime

Sainsburys do a nice alcohol free prosecco, i enjoyed it whilst pregnant.
It might not bother you but there is 50g of sugar in those 500ml AF Kopparbergs, i bought one also while pregnant but had to pour it away! I am by no means strict with my sugar intake but that is just too much.

I think Aecorn looks promising

Stowford Press AF cider actually tastes like proper cider.

I tried Seedlip for the first time at the weekend- had a sip of it before adding my tonic water and it just tasted of nothing. Given that it’s more expensive than some actual gins I don’t think I’ll be buying a bottle any time soon!

I quite like the Gordon's AF G&Ts. We have a great independent beer shop near us and they have a good range of alcohol free beers. My favourite is called Implosion. Some of the Brewdog ones are good (not sure it's a good day to be recommending them mind).
Sadly, I haven't found a decent wine yet.

Alcohol free Freixenet is surprisingly nice. I almost felt I was having the real deal!
AF kopperberg is yummy too but very sweet!
Fever tree tonic water - nice flavours and you can almost imagine there’s gin in there.

Kopparberg
Heineken 0

hot chocolate

@vimtosogood

Water, coffee and tea are all nice.

How about vimto?

Seedlip (I like the garden one) is ok but so expensive.
I think actually it’s as effective doing an iced tonic/water with eg mint or bitters or orange zest etc etc and just not bothering our a thimbleful costing a fiver in as well !
Old stylée i rather like an alcohol free beer if I’m cutting down for any reason. Always found them to be the most ‘successful’ af drinks.

Belle&co 0% pink fizz is cheap on Amazon and not too sugary. Has a good bite to it that hits the spot. Not keen on any other fake Prosecco.

Best spirit substitute by far is Martini Vibrante - delicious with tonic and, again, not too sugary. Bottle is a tenner and lasts ages.

Something and Nothing seltzers are really nice too if you're after a 'posh' non-alcoholic drink.

Good old soft drinks!

I enjoy Fevertree and Fentimans tonics and sodas, Erdinger AF lager, Infinite Session IPA, Brewdog Punk AF IPA and Hazy pale ale, and I’ve also tried a couple of the Big Drop AF beer range which I enjoyed. IPA style seems to work well as an AF beer.

I’ve tried Seedlip and thought it was pointless. Barely any flavour and quite expensive.

I love the Spencer Matthew’s alcohol free rhubarb and ginger gin. I’m not a fan of Gordon’s alcohol free gin, I think it has a strange aftertaste.

My favourites are...

AF beers
hoegaarden
peroni
Bavaria wit

Seedlip cans with grapefruit or lemongrass tonic

M and S AF mojito.

San pelligrino bitters with tonic.

Best AF wine I've tried is oddbirds blanc de blanc. Not cheap though.

Good old soft drinks!

I find them too sweet. Could maybe have a bitter lemon I suppose.

Thanks everyone, I will try some of these.

This is proving delicious!

Another vote for Koppaberg.

I'm like @Candleabra and don't like non-alcohol alcohol.

There are some lovely drinks around, you could try a can of ginger shot with sparkling water and ice, a lady on here makes virgin pina colada which sounded nice.

I'm currently quite addicted to Robinsons sparkling raspberry. Water with lemon is nice and I love ginger beer. I also like kombucha as mentioned by pp.

Tesco do a cherry lemonade that is 50p and delicious

Beavertown Lazer Crush IPA is my favourite. I also like the Kopparberg pear cider but that is quite sweet!

I agree about Seedlip.
I recently got into having water (bottled, yes I know I am killing the planet as if I'm sticking a knife in it.... ), ice, mint and lemon (a bit squeezed and then dropped in.)
I used to enjoy Cranberry Juice 1/2 and 1/2 with perrier.
someone came around the other day with non-alcoholic leffe, which is like the champagne of beers.
I recently found chamomile tea to be very smooth
my other half makes a non-alcoholic lemongrass tea cocktail (that includes lemonade) that we get compliments on

Frozen raspberries in the blender with orange juice is our go to party drink.

Lemonade and elderflower cordial is lovely.
