Favorite Non Alcoholic Drink? Need ideas for new things to try.
Discussion
There is excellent Beer which really tastes great even as non alcoholic. Right brand hard to find though.
Cool, didn't know that exists
Topo Chico
Have seen this, might have to give it a try.
I've started showing up to gatherings with unflavored Topo Chico, or occasionally the lime/mint flavored one. It at least presents the possibility that I am joining in the "fun", although I stopped drinking alcohol some time ago, as well as anything with sugars, real or fake. I can forgive a tiny bit of lime juice, though.
Freshly juiced celery/lemon/apple/ginger.. sometimes with carrots, parsley and beets π
Bookmarked β₯
I love fizzy drinks. Ice col homemade with spring water is ace once you get used to it.
Or in Sweden they have naturally favoured no sugar ones. Great too.
Check Ipanema ππ
And if you have the chance to try the following one ... DO IT π€!
Cheers fren π»

Ginger beer or ginger ale is always a good go to.
Sparkling water of choice, fresh squeezed lime, juice of choice (preferably organic, I like take cherry or pomegranate).
Fill glass 1/3 with juice, add the spakling water and lime. Never be dehydrated again
Seltzer water. Must be cold π₯Ά
Today I realised a good selection of recipes can be found here https://www.monin.com/us/recipes/drinks/mocktail-recipes β¦ (as was contemplating if to get a cocktail set from them before my vacation). In rest, pretty basic for the summer months for me would be the non-alcoholic white wine or ginger beer.
At the bar? Soda water/lime. Why? it signals to the bartender that you are likely a sober driver, and more likely a "graduate" of a 12-step program. They will almost always give these for free, especially if you tip for the first one, regardless of whether or not they offer it for free. There's definitely more psychology going on with this as well - but it all works in your favor, and makes you an instant ally of the bar staff, and can even allow them to be more liberal with your friends' drinks...
