Non Alcoholic Fizzy Sour Cherry Lemonade
Ingredients
2 pounds fresh or thawed frozen sour cherries (2 quarts), stemmed
2 cups fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 to 2 cups superfine sugar
3 cups white rum (optional)
4 to 6 cups chilled sparkling water
Fresh sour cherries with stems, for garnish
Method:
Blend cherries (including pits) in a blender at low speed until skins have broken down enough to brightly color liquid (some of pits will be coarsely chopped). Pour through a sieve into a 4-quart pitcher, pressing on and discarding solids. Add lemon juice and sugar, to taste, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Pour 3 tablespoons white rum, if using, into each of 16 tall (10-ounce) glasses filled with ice. Add 1/2 cup cherry lemonade to each and top off with sparkling water

Well, I think when people go out, they want some sort of frothy, foo-foo drink to enjoy with people who do choose to drink alcohol. I can understand that.
That said, you can make some decent "drinks" without alcohol, but still get a buzz, fit in and enjoy yourself safely. First, any alcoholic cocktail can be made without alcohol. Just ask the bartender to make it without alcohol! They'll always be willing to. (This is common with frothy drinks such as strawberry daiquiris.)
You can make some cool drinks that will give you a slight buzz, but without alcohol, by using an energy drink. Simply buy, say, a cool-colored martini mixer (used for sweetness/flavoring and coloring, but without any alcohol in it) in a funky color such as electric blue (the bottle I am thinking is wavy in shape, but I cant recall the brand offhand--sorry)...Pour some into the blender along with an energy drink such as Red Bull. Add ice and blend! Pour into a martini glass for added faux image.
You'll have a cool, frothy drink that will give you a slight buzz of energy, so you'll feel good, but without the alcohol. Plus, it looks cool. Throw in a cherry or a slice of orange for added zest and appeal.

Without alcohol... try non alcoholic stawberry daquris. I've had them and they are pretty good.
One of the best things to do is find recipes that sound good and just eliminate the alcohol from them. For the most part they taste better without it and you have so many varieties to choose from. Have fun experimenting!
If you like the taste of Margarita's or any other alcoholic beverage, just make it without the alcohol. The only thing that will notice the difference is your head..I'm sure your head will appreciate you for it. Their called virgin drinks.
Alcohol-Free Margarita
1 lime wedge
Coarse salt for dipping the edges of the glasses into
About 1 cup ice cubes
1 cup cold water
6-ounce can frozen limeade
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Lime or orange slices, for garnish (optional)
Run the lime wedge around the rim of 3 glasses to moisten them.
Dip the rims into the salt to lightly coat the edges of the glasses.
Place the glasses in the freezer to chill. (This can be done hours ahead of time.)
Place the remaining ingredients except the garnish in the container of a blender. Process until combined and slushy. Pour into the prepared glasses. Garnish each glass with a lime or orange slice, if desired. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
