I'm getting bored of lime and soda or orange juice and wondered if anyone drinks anything more interesting and non-alcoholic. Thanks all x

Tonic water or lime and soda usually. Our local does Fentimans rose lemonade which is lovely. I might have a mocktail in a restaurant but they tend to be incredibly sweet.

Years and years ago I worked in a pub that had a large group of Jamaican customers.
If driving these were some of their favourites, all served in a tall glass with ice:
Orange juice, American ginger ale & a shot of lime
Lemonade, and a shot each of blackcurrant juice & lime
Orange juice, shot of blackcurrant and topped up with lemonade

Wetherspoons do a nice raspberry lemonade, comes in a posh glass too like a cocktail

@Eliza9917 My friend does!

OP, do you like g&t? If so, could you have tonic ice and lime juice? Its a bit more interesting than lime and soda (which is my go to non alcoholic drink when out).

Soda water and fresh lime, decaf coffee.

Appletizer in a wine glass, if you use your imagination it is just like having a glass of wine

TOMATO JUICE

MrsReacher1 · 21/10/2018 16:01

Gin and tonic - without the gin
Sparkling water and lime juice
Mocktails
Tomato juice with loads of spice

Lime and soda

icebearforpresident · 21/10/2018 16:58

koppaberg falcohol free fruit ciders are good, there a pear one which i’ve never tried (don’t like pear) and a mixed berries which is yummy.

That or orange and lemonade.

aibutohavethisusername · 21/10/2018 17:07

Orange juice and lemonade
Ginger beer
Rose lemonade

Biancadelriosback · 21/10/2018 17:09

Apple Juice and lemonade. Sometimes lemonade (or soda) with a splash of lime and a muddle of cucumber

YeOldeTrout · 21/10/2018 17:51

appletize. If I'm there for hours I'll start with an alcopop & virgin drinks there after.

Amanduh · 21/10/2018 18:03

Diet coke, or any cocktail without the booze.

CherryPavlova · 21/10/2018 18:07

With a meal, water. Drinking at bookclubs or similar then just tea. Drinks parties - whatever is being offered.

CherryPavlova · 21/10/2018 18:07

Or ginger beer.

BigRoundPumpkin · 21/10/2018 18:08

Alcohol free lager (usually Becks blue) in a pint glass topped up with lemonade :) Tastes like a shandy, looks like the real thing! And I don't feel like I'm missing out :)

Methe · 21/10/2018 18:09

I normally drink fizzy water with food and just normal bottle water if I’m in a club. I went out last night and spent £4 😂 cheap date.

Talith · 21/10/2018 18:13

Lime soda. It's terrifically refreshing. A virgin Mary with a decent amount of pepper sauce is nice too but a bit too fancy usually!

Allchangehere346 · 21/10/2018 18:15

If you have a pub serving it, Mr Fitzpatrick’s have a really good selection of cordials and soft drinks.

(No, I don’t work for them - but do work in f and b and tried them at a trade fair and thought they were delicious :) )

possumgoddess · 21/10/2018 18:35

Becks blue or other non alcoholic beers. Not Bud light though.... That is rank!

needsahouseboy · 21/10/2018 18:37

Tea

starzig · 21/10/2018 18:38

I just have diluting juice

Frustratedboarder · 21/10/2018 18:40

Virgin Mary - extra spicy!! 😋
Or ginger beer.
