Give me a non alcoholic drink that isn’t awful

165 replies

Ilikeviognier · 22/08/2023 14:22

Just that - got to attend various barbecues etc at the weekend where everyone else will be drinking except me. What can I drink? Non alcoholic wine is awful. Tried nozzeco and hated it, thought about non alcoholic gin but it’s the same price as the real thing so would need to be worth it!

any other ideas? Zero beer is ok but I can’t drink more than one.

thanks!

I like Caleño which is a non alcoholic rum- there is a gift set on their website for £5 to try it out.

When I was doing dry January I found the lemon kombucha the drink that I kept going back to.

greenmarsupial · 22/08/2023 16:31

Crossip is my current favourite, I do like crodino too and am not a beer drinker but find non-alcoholic beer very satisfying as an alcohol sub.

Elderflower tonic with a dash of lime.

Just a note on my earlier reply. i tried non alcoholic Tanqueray not Gordon's.

LunaLoveFood · 22/08/2023 16:50

Gordon's non alcoholic pink gin with 7up is really good.

Ginmonkeyagain · 22/08/2023 16:57

Good god - you must have a sweeter tooth than I do. I got given some non alcoholic Gordons GnT at ones of those promotional giveaways brands do at mainline stations. The original one was fine, but the pink one was heinous.

Haven't read the thread OP but I buy sugar free kombucha when I'm not drinking. Had a lovely watermelon one last week, from Waitrose I think.

Oh and we love lucky saint and have a monthly subscription.

Becks blue is nice. Other than that, I like tonic water, ginger beer, dalstons cherry.

BarborousBarbra · 22/08/2023 17:15

I don't drink so I usually have Fentimans rose lemonade or Bottle Green Lemongrass and Ginger cordial with sparkly water. Both lovely and a bit more grown-up than your standard soft drinks

Ginmonkeyagain · 22/08/2023 17:25

Square Root are a good soft drink brand, they do the usual lemonades and colas but also some non alcoholic cocktails and seasonal specials. The rhubarb fizz is lovely.

I love a sparkling tea

CurlewKate · 22/08/2023 17:32

Gordon's alcohol free gin is (IMO) nicer than the alcoholic one!
A Black Velvet made with Guinness 0 and nosecco is good.

Apart from that, Coulsdon Press Rhubarb or Fentiman's Ginger Ale.

apric0t · 22/08/2023 17:47

Personally the non alcoholic sparkling stuff by Freixenet which you can get from big Sainsbury’s is really yummy, much nicer than nozecco!

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 22/08/2023 17:48

I just drink blackcurrant and soda with lots of ice when I want a non alcoholic drink. It's refreshing and not too sweet.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 22/08/2023 18:01

I don't drink and love a good AF beer but if I don't fancy that I like a lime and soda

Akiddleetivy2woodenchu · 22/08/2023 18:09

I make my own tonic water. It’s faffy and time consuming but lasts for ages in the fridge.

LoveThisUsername · 22/08/2023 18:18

Ginger beer & fresh mango juice, with slices of orange & lime.

AngelsWithSilverWings · 22/08/2023 18:22

I like the Tripp peach and ginger over ice to get that G&T feel. Also like the Robinsons lime and mint cordial as it makes me think I'm having a mojito.

I don't like drinking coke or alcohol free lager at BBQ parties as it makes me feel bloated.

shoeawsome · 22/08/2023 18:51

Another recommendation for the Gordon's AF gin, really good!

I had some pink 0 alcohol Freixenet on Sunday watching the football, that was nice & also some Sainsbury Mojito Mocktail!

BarelyLiterate · 22/08/2023 19:10

Erdinger Alkoholfrei is pretty good, if a bit sweet for me. It’s very popular in German speaking countries.

Valerie23 · 22/08/2023 19:15

Fanta fruit twist with ice and a straw!

Whatnowfgs · 22/08/2023 20:23

Kopparberg alcohol free, is ok there are a few different flavours.

Boopear · 22/08/2023 20:28

Ooh, Robinsons Lime & Mint with tonic (not slimline). Very nice indeed.
