I like sparkling water with lime.

I like dark sodas with lime and crème.

I like Shirley temples or cran with light sodas.

Again, grenadine (from the Shirley temple) with a lime sparkling water is great.

Virgin pina colada

There are a bunch of high end sparkling teas.

You have to make it a little festive and fun and indulgent.

I hope you stick with it. Life on the other side is glorious.

I like to make mock mojitos. A little sugar muddled with mint leaves, lots of lime juice and seltzer.

I like club soda or seltzer with non-alcoholic bitters. Nothing sweet.

I have cut back on drinking from 2-3 drinks a week to 1-2 drinks every 3-4 weeks. But I don’t want to waste calories on mocktails - I drink still or sparkling water if I’m not drinking and save the calories for a nice glass of wine on the occasion that I do have a drink. I’ll also indulge in a nicer wine than I would have before. Or I’ll have a piece of chocolate after dinner, etc. Mocktails are not worth the cost or the calories in lieu of alcohol for me.

I drink flavored seltzers, either alone or with a splash of juice. I also drink soda when I'm out. Mainly because it's still less calories than drinking 4 glasses of wine, and I never drink more than one at time.

I like seltzer with some olive juice or lemon- most mocktails are very sweet and sometimes I miss the “savory” taste of wine or a cocktail

Most recommendations will be full of fruit juice and will make you fat. Just stick to unsweet iced tea or something of the sort.

Why drink at all if you don’t like the way it makes you feel? It makes no sense.

Cranberry or cherry juice with club soda and lime

Ginger beer with pretty much anything

I like kombucha. Tons of different flavors.
