What are some good, non-alcoholic drinks that most bars can make for me?!
Answers: I don't like most sodas, though club soda and tonic water are okay. I usually just get club soda on nights I don't want to drink alcohol, but I welcome more interesting ideas - ones that most bars can make, that is. I know there are tons of things I can make at home.
Club soda mixed with a little of your favorite juice is a nice change, and healthy. You can also get a variety of virgin frozen drinks, such as Marguerita, Daquiri, and Pina Colada, and in fruit flavors that they feature i.e. Frozen Virgin Strawberry Daquiri. Or a non-alcoholic beer.
Virgin Daiquiri.
Virgin Pina Colada.
Virgin Bloody Mary.
Shirley temple
A virgin sunrise is always good...half sprite, half OJ with a splash of grenadine.
If your contact with virgin drinks has been limited to a Shirley Temple -- basically a glass of ginger ale with a splash of Grenadine for color -- it's time to discover the adult drinks that look and taste a bit more provocative.
Virgin cocktails are just a safer version of their stronger relations. For instance, one potent recipe for Sex on the Beach, or an SOB, is made with 2 ounces of vodka, 1 ounce of peach schnapps, a splash of orange or grapefruit juice and a splash of cranberry juice. A toned down version, Safe Sex on the Beach, is 2 ounces of cranberry juice, 2 ounces grapefruit or orange juice and 1 ounce of peach nectar. The drinks look alike, but you can drink safe SOBs all night long and never lose your poise.
Some other choices are a Virgin Mary - that's a Bloody Mary without the booze. Just tomato juice and what ever you take to spice it up. A virgin Pina Colada... 7 ounces of pineapple juice with 2 ounces of coconut cream blended at high speed with 1 cup of crushed ice. These drinks are similar to their alcohol drenched namesakes. The only way to tell the difference is to taste them!
A Manhattan is 3/4 ounces sweet vermouth, 2 1/2 ounces of rye whiskey. The virgin version is 1/4 cup cranberry juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, a good splash of cherry juice and a little splash of lemon juice. The juices combine into a mix that looks very much like the original, but you can drink a few and still say virgin version three times fast.
Ceasor! [ Bloody Mary ]
Or: get your favourite alcholic drink as a virgin! =D
I like seven up with a splash of pine-apple juice, orange juice and cranberry juice. I tell the bartender to "make my sunrise"! l
I don't like the taste of alcohol, but I do order a strawberry daquiri occasionally. Even with the alcohol in it, you can't taste it, so the non alcoholic version tastes just like the regular version. I've even ordered these for my 10 year old daughter. It reminds me more of an icee than a drink.
Most mixed drinks can be made, "virgin" that is without alcohol. Like bloody mary's, fuzzy navels, shirley temples, etc.
Shirley Temple, any alcoholic beverage virgin, or various smoothies. They might be able to make something like an Oreo smoothie or fruit...plus there are things like slushies and such. I went on a cruise this summer (first one ever) and my brother, myself, and our friend lived on root beer floats from the bar all week. They were awesome! No guarantee that all bars serve them though :-\
Hope I've given you some helpful suggestions :)
haha, cant go wrong with water.
