Non alcoholic suggestions

Hi c22  not trivial, the small pleasures in life are important! I like the zero alcohol Guinness, which was a surprise as I didn’t think it would compare with the real thing! And then of course if you’re a Guinness fan then nothing really compares to a pint poured in Ireland….. I agree re sugars in a lot of zero drinks, it’s difficult. I complicate my situation by fasting for a minimum of 13 hours overnight so evenings out see me on sparkling water which is very boring. But I value that first cup of tea in the morning more than having a nicer drink with calories in the evening! It’s all a juggle re what’s important to each of us. 
Going back to non alcoholic drinks, I’m not a big fan of the fizzies as I find them a bit sweet as well. Will be interested in seeing others’ suggestions! Xx

Son did the no-alcohol ‘dry January’ and said non alcoholic wine was awful, non alcoholic beer was ok and the best was non alcoholic ‘mocktails’

I like alcohol free cider. Kopparberg do a fruit one and a pear one. Really refreshing .

Hi c22,

I’m also a big fan of the zero free Guinness and and I also like Fever Tree low cal tonic with ice - It’s almost as good as a G&T and still feels like a grown up drink. x

I will pray for you all,non alcoholic is the work of the devil. HIC!    kind regards.

I suspect you are right!!!!

I haven’t drunk alcohol for two years and tried loads of alternatives during that time. Not a fan of the ciders, they are generally too sweet for me. I’ve found Lidl bottled lager is the nicest and cheap as chips. M&S mocktails especially the mojito and their AF red wine are nice (not like real wine but still a tasty drink). Nosecco for a bit of fizz. 0% gin and tonic pre-mix cans are tasty even though I don’t like real gin! The London Essence Co tonics are delicious and have a little ‘bite’ (the pink pepper one). If you’re out and about BrewDog pubs do some great AF draft beers, so good I had to double check! Will definitely be trying Mother Root! :-) 

Hi BWBCancer,

I still also drink the real thing. Everything in moderation is my motto, although my halo slipped at the recent beer fest! x

Totally agree moderation is the answer! Just trying to find a week day replacement - because with honest hindsight I definitely imbibed more than my fair share!! 

I'm a fan of fever tree flavoured tonics, minus the gin.  I also have had really good alcohol free aperol spritz, with no alcohol Prosecco and orange monin flavouring.   Hope this helps and good luck x
