Lets Brainstorm Non Alchoholic Drinks we can make!

Something I find absolutely delicious is orange juice and club soda!

Anyone got any recipies or ideas for good non alchoholic drinks?

I like hot cider recipes. Usually I just get the store seasoning to mix in, the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, etc. but this looks good to me:

Apple Cider Punch Ingredients

4 qt Apple Cider
3 sticks Cinnamon
6 oz (frozen) Orange Juice
6 whole Allspice
6 whole Clove
6 oz (frozen) Lemonade
1 cup (Packed) Brown Sugar
1 tsp (ground) Nutmeg

If you use the whole all spice and cloves, tie them in cheesecloth. Heat the mixture. Stir occasionally.

I don't make anything but coffee and iced tea lol. I don't make anything thats like a cocktail, even if it is non-alcoholic. I like juices but I can't mix them with anything. For the longest time I couldn't drink cranberry or orange juice cuz it made me crave vodka in it haha! I'm ok with drinking them now though.

Even when I'm out somewhere I won't get virgin cocktails because its just too close to home. Or the non-alcoholic beers.

It just occured to me that you might not have even been talking about non-alcoholic cocktail type things hahahah!!!! See where my mind goes?

Yeah, Ray, but I think all non-alcoholic drinks one makes (besides milkshakes?) are cocktail types pretty much. I don't think you're strange. I didn't think of that problem because I use to get sick on Vodka so long ago decided no more Vodka and had the opposite problem of not wanting the orange juice because the screwdrivers made me sick :-)

Haha I never even drank mixed drinks very often. I was a beer girl. That was the problem, I always had beer and then started mixing the hard stuff. YUCK haha!!!

I like pretty much any fruit juice mixed with club soda or tonic water - I especially like red grapefruit juice and soda. For some reason I need fizzy drinks.

I make Virgin Ceasars too, Clamato juice mixed with worchestireshire sauce and a little bit of horseradish - gives it a real kick. I never was a cocktail drinker, so I don't have any associations with them.

Another thing I love, although they[re kind of expensive are premixed fruit smoothies, they're really yummy and good for you and still a heck of a lot cheaper than scotch.

This thread is making me thirsty for you know what. %#@&#!.

awww im sorry chalm I was hoping it would ward that off not make it worse.

its not you rain. my anixety has me so bad right now. and i been keeping an eye on that one beer sitting in the fridge. i'm thinking hard about busting it all and downing just that one. maybe it will calm the anxiety some. who knows.

((((chalm))))

Oh honey, I am super anxious tonight too. I just got myself through an anxiety attack.

Don't give into the booze though. It is not worth it at all.

I like a good rootbeer float every now and then. I think I'm an ice cream addict though! LOL!

Better ICE CREAM than BEER!

Oh ice cream floats - I used to love them when I was a kid, haven't thought about them in years. Will have to try one this summer when it's hot.
