Mock-Tails

KissMeImScottish

This came up in another thread, and dovetails with the whole "hide it till Christmas" thread. Especially with the holidays coming up, what are some of you ladies' favorite virgin drinks? I'd love ideas for some more variety when I'm out in social settings that I would normally drink in!

My go to is 1/2 cranberry juice and 1/2 soda water with lime. Definitely better than "I'll just have water, thanks." I even drink it when I'm not pregnant.

So come on, ladies. Hit me with your best shot! (Pun only kind of intended, haha)

@ktewart I really like ginger ale with a splash of cranberry and lime, so pretty similar to yours!  I'm very interested to hear other ideas and step up my mocktail game.

I'm also on the cranberry or pomegranate juice and soda train! I just like a splash of juice so the drink is a really pale pink. Also garnish and a nice glass are a must. Most times friends can't even tell your not drinking.  

I've also been addicted to ginger ale. That is more nausea related, but when put into a rock glass with a cherry it can pass as a party worthy drink. Cheers y'all!

Edited for spelling because autocorrect sucks.

I just bought a bottle of non-alcoholic wine at Target (it says it has less that .5% alcohol) for Thanksgiving (my Italian family doesn't really do mixed drinks at holidays so trying to make one would be a dead giveaway.

If I'm at home, I'll either have a plain La Croix in a fancy glass, or I'll mix it with some cranberry juice. I haven't had to fake drink socially yet (just got a bfp Wednesday) but I'll probably just do coke and say it's jack and coke or try the ginger ale with cranberry and lime @SpongeWorthy mentioned - that sounds amazing!

I love LaCroix! Some of the flavors are so good - I love pamplemousse and cran-raspberry! Love this thread - VERY interested in some good mocktails!

Club soda, cranberry, and a lime.

So right after posting on this thread, DH and I went out to dinner and the restaurant had a whole mock-tail menu. It seriously made my night! I had a drink with rose' syrup and citrus. It was decadent and wonderful. Didn't miss the alcohol one bit. Wished more restaurants did this!

I don't drink alcohol all together so i always get a virgin raspberry mojito.

I'm still a fan of kiddie cocktails. I don't really drink soda normally so that's exciting to me. But when they can make cherry limeade yum!

Just had to fake it when some friends came over a couple nights ago. Had lemonaid and cucumber juice. Delish!!
