Non alcoholic drinks

[shylatte]

We have (young) tee totalers coming and I want some nice drinks to offer other than Schloer. Any ideas? I'd also love to do a non alcoholic punch type thing if anyone has a tried and tested recipe?

I'm sober and like to drink really good tonic with loads of ice and squeezed limes and lemon.

Estrella do a very good AF beer which is also gluten free.

I like to also make an AF margarita with the Clean Co "tequila".

I just like a ginger ale.

Another vote for mulled apple juice. I also like Belvoir and Fentiman's.

It's not clear whether you mean children or adults, but another poster suggested the Brew Dog alcohol free beers and Infinite Sessions and I would second those if they like beer.

The Rochester cordials from Holland and Barrett are nice, they do berry, ginger, dark ginger and run and raisin ones. They can be made with not water as well as cold.

A lot will depend on their reasons for not drinking! I bought some Gordon's 0% yesterday which was really nice and I was astonished to find a huge selection of alcohol free bottles in the drinks section in Sainsbury's. Exponentially more than when I was pregnant 4 years ago!

I had this last night as I reach the end of sober October and it was lovely - www.ocado.com/products/nix-kix-blood-orange-turmeric-250ml-can-482276011

There’s one with Rhubarb and raspberry that’s good too.

Also like Kombucha, remedy drinks is my favourite, all good but peach maybe favourite.

I definitely wouldn’t want mulled apple juice or coke.

I'm a cheapskate who rarely drinks alcohol nowadays :) Now the confession's out of the way - I love Tesco double strength cordials mixed with sparkling water - they're not too sweet - the lime and the apple are my favourites. They need to be very diluted. Even better with ice.

I don't drink. You really should ask them what they want as like alcohol it isn't a one size fits all! I find many non alcoholic drinks too sweet and I don't like them. I tend to like citrus type flavours but they're not to everyones taste and don't get me started on the horrible aftertaste of fentimans! I appreciate the thought that goes into buying non alcoholic drinks for me but I wish people would ask me what I want rather than wasting money on something i have to pretend to drink in order to be polite.

There's such a good selection of alcohol-free options available now! Agree that it depends on what they like though and what kind of alcoholic drinks you're serving.

Lidl do a mulled fruit punch which is a nice option if you're serving mulled wine.

I like a Nosecco. Haven't found a decent alcohol-free wine though. Alcohol-free gin is available in abundance, Lidl have nice Cero Cero ones that are about £10 a bottle. Lots of beer options, or if they're the type that like fruit cider then kopparberg do alcohol free.

If you just want nicer soft drinks I'm a big fan of the Tesco elderflower and apple sparkling drink.
