Hi I'm going AF and I love cider, rum vodka& wine rose in particular and would love to get some AF drinks in but no idea what's nice on the wine drinks that doesn't taste like vinegar!

OP posts:

Thanks

Do you want something that tastes like faux alcohol or something that’s a soft drink like appletiser of schloer?

Thanks

If totally AF then Cawston Press, can order by the case online or available in most supermarkets. Bottle Green, Belvoir, Fentimans also popular here.

Thanks

Noughty by Thomson and Scott is a NA sparkling Chardonnay. It’s delicious, I’m 3 months alcohol free and it’s the best I’ve tried. You can get it Waitrose now, or by their website/social media x

Thanks

I use nice cordials with soda water- not too sweet and you can vary - mexican lime and ginger is like a mohito (a no-hito if you like) elderflower with a squeeze of fresh lemon- prosecco,
pomegranate is slightly sharp and sweet

sainburys do their own versions of belvoir/bottle green etc

I also get cans of spring water with lime cucumber and mint which are handy to take on picnics-and very refreshing

Thanks

Totally misread that as you asking for drinks that is nice “as fuck”...

Thanks

Stowford Press low alcohol cider is really nice. It does have a tiny amount of alcohol in it though, 0.5%, so nor completely AF.

I’ve never had a drinkable AF wine.

Thanks

I have a bottle of Belvoir Soda & Lime in the fridge. Their stuff is reliably good, I find. Lots is cordial options too & I fizz water in my soda stream. Worth the purchase for us. Good luck!

Thanks

Robinsons "posh" diluting juice lime and crushed mint is lovely. Refreshing but feels like you're having something nice to drink.

M&S do fresh juice mixes that are alcohol free piña colada and mojito.

Thanks

Seedlip botanicals are lovely. For fizz I like McGuigan Zero or Sainsbury’s AF sparkling wine - both lovely

Thanks

I found that tonic water on its own tastes a bit alcoholly and mixing it with some lime juice, brown sugar and ice made a convincing enough mocktail! For me anyway!
