Non-alcoholic drinks?
the guy i am seeing is a lot older than i am and takes me to posh restaurants. (i'm at uni and he's 30) I dont drink any alcohol at all (i drink diet coke all the time) what can i order so i dont look well, so unsophisticated?
Answers:
So many people drink mineral water now, that it's completely fine to just sip that. I usually have soda water with a meal when I'm out, or soda water with lime. Appletiser is good, because it looks like sparkling wine and it tastes lovely.
theres nothing wrong with perrier water , or sparkling water is there ?
If you don't want alcohol order something non-alcoholic. They make mixed drinks without alcohol.
lemon lime and bitters?
Mixed juices.......mmmm!
Ginger beer.
Try "Purdys, it flavoured water but tastes real nice
UNI? Like University of Northern Iowa? Just order a Sprite, you won't seem,......wait...why are you worring about this? Who cares what you order for a drink?
For a change from sparkling water or Diet Coke, how about a non-alcoholic cocktail? These three are all standards that any bartender should know... but there are loads more!
St Clement's
Half-half mix of fresh orange juice and bitter lemon.
Gentle Sea Breeze
Half-half mix of cranberry juice and pineapple juice, served with lots of ice.
Virgin Mary -- peppery and made with tomato juice. A real wake-up call! It contains...
Tomato juice
Tabasco (tell the bartender if you want just a dash (mild), or several if you like it hot!)
Worcestershire sauce
Lemon juice
Salt and pepper
well a margarita with out alcohol is very good, so is a pi?a colada
I like orange juice and bitter lemon together (St Clements)
If you like tomato juice you could ask for a vigin mary (like a bloody mary -no vodka)
just order your diet coke, if he is a normal man he will slip the vodka in.
explain to him that u dnt drink and he wil ha to understand that-if he cares about u and really likes u he will understand and be happy about it
u drink wot u like not summit to make him happy
I`d go for water or fruit juice.
Non-alcoholic wine or beer,grape juice. In a wineglass (or beer glass for the beer) they are indistinguishable from the real thing.
These are what I drink when I'm driving.
Keep ordering diet cokes, but pretend your drunk half way into your meal.
I like lime and soda but it is difficult for choice sometimes. As I find that a lot of fruit juices can be quite sweet with added sugar and also I try not to drink carbonated drinks too much as they bloat you out and are not ultimately good for you. My own personal opinion.
Bitter lemon
Lemonade with Orange juice
Cranberry juice and lemonade
or you could have tonic water or sparkling water
So...are you not sophisticated then...even if you do drink coke?
I stopped drinking 9 years ago...cos i cant handle the hangovers any more...try the following
lemonade and lime or blackcurrant
ginger beer with loads of ice
posh places might have pomegranate juice which is nice with lemonade.
iced tea
But i think if your at Uni and he's 30 then maybe he isn't worried about what you drink!!
