Answers:
If you like liquor - you're going to be out of luck!

I like liquor too - and when I was pregnant the closest I could come was some virgin WINES I found at the grocery store - they still have a bit of a bite!.!.!.and I still got to use a wineglass!.!.!.so I didn't feel like the only sober person there

These folks are all suggesting fruity drinks that just leave out the alcohol - which is what alot of folks do!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri

The perfect drink for a hot summer day, a virgin daiquiri (strawberry or whatever fruit suits your fancy) is tangy and thirst-quenching!. Plus, because it's fruit-flavored and blended, you're less likely to notice the missing alcohol!. Go for fresh strawberries over frozen; the flavor will be much better!.



Ingredients:
1 ounce fresh lime juice
3 ounces frozen strawberries in syrup (or fresh, if available)
1 teaspoon sugar
Cracked ice



Preparation:
Fill a blender with cracked ice!. Add lime juice, strawberries, and sugar!. Blend until smooth, then pour into a chilled glass!. Garnish with an extra strawberry (if you have one) or an orangeslice!.



Virgin Pi?a Colada

Another summer classic, the pi?a colada, is cool and refreshing!. With its smoothie-like consistency, it can be gentler on a mom-to-be's stomach than other, more lively concoctions!.

Of course, if citrus fruits — with their acidic qualities — have been playing havoc with your digestion, you may want something even milder!. Although pineapple isn't technically part of the citrus family, its juice, like that of the orange, lime, or lemon, can be quite tart!. For a sweeter, less tangy drink, use pineapple canned in syrup rather than its own juice!.

Ingredients:
2 ounces coconut milk
1? ounces crushed pineapple
1 ounce pineapple juice
1/4 cup crushed ice
Brown sugar to taste (no more than one tablespoon)


Preparation:
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth (about 30 seconds)!. Pour into chilled glass!. Garnish with an orange slice, a pineapple wedge, or a maraschino cherryWww@FoodAQ@Com

I personally felt weird about drinking virgin drinks while preggo because I didn't want people to think I was actually drinking, but I CRAVED the taste of beer and alcohol (I know!.!.!.weird)!.

I drank O'Douls, tonic and lime on the rocks and strawberry lemonade with lime!.

I'm assuming you're wanting to duplicate the taste of Smirnoff Ice, which will be hard to do since it's malt beverage and not vodka!. The closest I can think of is an energy drink with maybe some sprite mixed in!. Be careful about your caffeine consumption too! ;)

I'm not a fan of frozen drinks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Virgin Bloody Mary

Fill glass with ice
8oz V8 Cocktail Juice
two dashes Tobasco Sauce
four dashes Worcestershire Sauce
Celery Salt (to taste)
Garnish with any or all of the following
Celery Stick, Pickle Slice, Olives, Brussels Sprout, whole Button mushroom, Orange Wedge

Enjoy!Www@FoodAQ@Com

How about a pina colada with no alcohol!?
Or any of the frozen dakery drinks with no alcohol
Strawberry, Rum Runner, etc!.!.!.

Virgin Smirnoff!? Not possible!. Make a strawberry daiquiri or something but leave out the rum, that's the best you will get!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
