I don't drink alcohol but I do like having something naice to drink if I'm sitting out in the sun.
Something a bit more interesting than plain old coca-cola/fanta etc.

I quite like elderflower cordial with sparkling water, or soda and lime but would like some suggestions of something new to try!

I really dislike the taste of artificial sweeteners so tend to avoid any diet or "light" versions. I used to love Ginger Ale but it's impossible to find one that hasn't had all the sugar replaced with sweeteners.

Fevertree blood orange tonic is nice

Belvoir ginger cordial is nice with soda water over ice.
Mr Fitzpatrick cordials have a great selection if you can find them.

I love Purdeys. No sugar or artificial sweeteners. Made with fruit juice and “botanicals”.

i also Like fruit juice 50/50 with sparkling mineral water, it’s very hydrating

I’m obsessed with Teisseire zero. A thick cordial I’ve been getting from Sainsbury’s. I love the grenadine one but the elderflower is lovely too. It’s about £4 and you get loads of of glasses out of it

SovietSpy · 04/05/2026 17:25

Dash sparkling waters

Workworkwok · 04/05/2026 17:34

Also coconut water. Lately I’ve been mixing it with pineapple juice for pina colada vibes but I like it on its own too.

Robinsons used to do a lime and mint cordial. Had mojhito vibes served with soda water over ice

OrdinaryGirl · 04/05/2026 17:59

Bought this the other day from Tesco in the chiller department and it is SO GOOD. I have it with sparkling water and fresh lime juice. 😋

Appletiser or rose lemonade if I’m not drinking. Most places offer alcohol free gin now which is close to the real thing, especially with a nice tonic!

martha79 · 04/05/2026 18:00

Ginger beer mixed with pineapple juice.

DawnAnn · 04/05/2026 18:01

Fentiman's Rose Lemonade.

Chocolattcoffeecup · 04/05/2026 18:01

Appletizer

HermioneWeasley · 04/05/2026 18:03

Pizza express do a “peach sparkle” which I’m obsessed with. I must ask them what it is

hereismydog · 04/05/2026 18:03

If I’m at home, San Pellegrino Lemon or Fentiman’s Rhubarb Lemonade 🤤

If I’m in a pub garden, a pint of lemonade with a bit of lime cordial.

Rainbowunicorn12 · 04/05/2026 18:04

I’d say appetizer, limoncello are nice and also just the standard lemon and lime cordial with lemonade are nice really nice.

Turnitoffnonagain · 04/05/2026 18:07

Rocks orange squash is delicious 😋
No sweetener. Tastes like orange squash should taste.

WonderingWanda · 04/05/2026 18:09
