Non alcoholic drinks

[Catinthecorner]

Due to some new medication I’m going to be off booze for a while. I’d love suggestions for lovely non alcoholic drinks for when we’re socialising (ie when I’d normally have a glass or two of beer/wine/cocktail).

None alcoholic replacement stuff is good (does all non alcoholic beer and wine taste vile?) but also just nice grown up drinks (recently found the robinsons lime and mint cordial, love ginger beer).

Just to complicate things I also have to limit caffeine (think a cup of tea is fine, three strong coffees is not).

Mr Fitzpatricks cordials. I'm currently sipping gooseberry and elderflower with fizzy water and it is lovely. They do a good range of no added sugar varieties as well. I don't have a local stockist so have to buy online though.

My favs are Appletiser and Pineapple and Lemonade.

Im a ton of meds too when Im out if im going to take a drink

i tend to go for a lemonade shandy (i know you said no alcohol), i usually get a pint of lemonade from the mixers behind the bar (either red, white or brown) depending on where i am and get about a shot glass of harp or budweiser from the taps, its enough for the taste (usual cost in bars is about 30p for this) one shot glass of it, will do me for 2 pints so you can figure out how dilute that is that just an idea

Otherwise i love
Lucozade,
Fentimans coke,
Soda and lime
Iced tea (lemon or peach)
Shloer juices or sparking
Bitter lemon
morello cherry cordial with ribena hot
fruit juices on their own - apple, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, tomato, cranberry
Club shandy - club lemon and club orange mixed in a pint glass with ice
