What are your favourite naice soft drinks?

[DoomCup]

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.

Do it!!! I absolutely love mine, use it all the time everyday. 10/10! Also just feels really guilt free 🤷

San Pellegrino Aranciata Rosso is lovely- blood orange.

Botivo
Sentia (the yellow one is best)
Mother Root (especially the limited edition rhubarb)

but they’re all more alcohol substitutes than a true soft drink. I do love London Essence tonics and sodas. G Spot are gorgeous, particularly the Apple and Sage.

But for a true soft drink - by far the best ever soft drinks you will taste are Rapscallion. Utterly bloody gorgeous.

French cordials with sparkling water - grenadine, peach and lime are our favourites
Grenadine is also good with orange juice and lemonade for an arizona sunset
Fever tree ginger ale and ginger beer are both good. Nice with a squeeze of lime juice and ice.
Chilled fruit or mint tea if you don't want something too sweet

Another good one - Club Orange. More readily available in Ireland but can be found in the world food aisle of large supermarkets or on amazon

You can buy direct from Karma (which I like to do as they're a company with fantastic ethics), or from Amazon (obviously a company with very far from fantastic ethics). Also, if you wanted to try just one can... they sell them by the can on Babipur now. My local co-op also sells them by the single can.

M&S still ginger lemonade

A Shirley Temple - lemonade and a dash of grenadine.

Hate diet fizzy drinks and don’t love elderflower.

I like the PE peach sparkle that pp mentioned.

I used to love San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa but they changed the recipe. the below are my alternatives.

Belvoir Farm pink lady sparkling
Bottlegreen zesty grapefruit

@mixcross this is a nice orange taste

No, it used to be but then they removed sugar for stevia.

I don’t drink alcohol, coffee etc and live off water. If I want a fizzy drink I just want the sugar version.

left field kombucha

Or charitea mate

Bitter Lemon with blackberry shrub.

@DoomCup I love this in the summer months, made with soda water and ice and add a sprig of fresh mint

If you're near an Italian deli, look to see if they do cans of 'lemon soda' - not sure who makes it, but it's just called that. Black cans. It's fantastic, so so fresh and lemony - 1,000 times better than San Pellegrino limon.

I choose Sanbitter with tonic. It’s a bit like Campari and soda.
Also like a tonic that’s hibiscus and rhubarb.

Try Mr. Fitzpatrick cordials, I love the sour cherry, grape and hibiscus but we dip into the other flavours regularly too

Watermelon lime and mint cordial is so refreshing

This sounds lovely. Do you know who makes it?

different energy drinks, eg monster, origin, cherry, then general apple juice and orange juice, a mix overall

Ginger beer with a dash of lime is lovely.
as is cranberry juice and orange juice mixed together. Some places sell the latter as a summer breeze mocktail.

theres a nice cranberry and raspberry soda stream syrup as well.

Kombucha and fruit shrub drink with sparkling water

I do this do...slice of lime, soda, ice and the cordial....very mojito like!

Tonic water with a spoonful of balsamic vinegar in it is weirdly nice!

I make ice tea a lot in the summer
also making own kombucha. That’s v easy.
cold herb tea over ice.
