Alcohol free - what are you drinking?

I'm doing Dry January with a view to extending it beyond the month.

I'm looking for some choice around what to drink apart from teas or squash. Special occasions usually call for nicer food and drink, so I'd like a few substitutes for when I'd usually drink alcohol.

I'm not interested in no alcohol wine or prosecco as I'm not bothered about pretending I'm still drinking.

Any suggestions?

0% Guinness when I have been in the pub. Ginger beer otherwise.

If you like a Mojito, Robinsons Lime & Mint Cordial is great with sparkling water.

Second Robinsons lime and mint cordial with sparking water, ice and a handful of fresh mint

Basil and something Trip with a nice glass and fresh basil leaves

Belvoir 0% mojito

Heineken 0% lager (not a beer drinker but I like this)

Sainsburys AF Chardonnay

Friexenet AF white Prosecco ..... just like the real thing but AF

Gordon's Pink 0% Gin and Mediteraenen fever tree in a nice glass ( was £12 reduced in supermarkets)

I’m sober, coming up to 2 years. I do drink AF beer and wine/fizz - the Freixnet one is very good. You may not wish to drink them now, but you likely will eventually get sick of sweeter drinks, so it’s nice to have the option.

Beyond that, I really like kombucha and sometimes I’ll just have a tonic water with nice garnishes. Or herbal tea, Tea Pigs is really nice. Or hot chocolate or cacao.

I do love schloer white grape.
When I'm out I enjoy a tonic water or appletiser. Something a bit different to Coke or lemonade.
The raspberry lemonades are also really nice.

Florida orange if out in a pub. Forgot how nice it is!
