Cocktail challenge

You can mix fun cocktails with non-alcoholic sparkling cider or grape juice (that might still have a lot of sugar for them) or by making spritzers w/ low sugar fruit juices and club soda or mineral water.

Garnishes and fun glasses also go a long way towards making a fun cocktail w/ no alcohol.

You could try making virgin frozen daquiris or margaritas with fresh fruit juice (using sugar substitute or honey as sweetner) + sparkling or soda water. Limeade is one of my favorite non-alcoholic alternatives.

I like Scooterbug's ideas AND totally agree about the right glass & garnish REALLY making a difference to the "mind" (heck...I could ALMOST drink milk if it was in a gorgeous stemmed martini glass :lol:).

considering that most juices are filled with sugars, even natural sugars, I cannot think of any drink ideas which help with the low sugar part. However, I can think of a few good non-alcoholic fruity spritzy drinks.

Non- alcoholic beer. 😀

Kaliber is a good one.

Sorry- I can't think of any healthy fruity ones.

Here's an idea for a virgin low sugar Colorado Bulldog (Miss Kitty is gonna hurl when she reads this:lol:)

Make a mock White Russian- I'm sure there is a recipe somewhere. If I had to guess- use coffee, Splenda, milk. Add a splash of Diet Coke. Voila!

Go ahead and shoot me. Can that drink be any good?

I would think if you can add some sort of fruity flavoring to Sprite Zero (no sugar, no caffeine, and it doesn't taste nasty like Diet Sprite--?)

I wonder what would happen if you used some of those Crystal Lite single-serving packets (I know they have lemonade and some kind of raspberry and something else) and added crushed up ice and Sprite Zero?

My gullfriends like to take plain vanilla, fat-free, sugar free yogurt and frozen fruit (which comes in bags on the frozen fruit aisle) and toss it in a blender with skim milk for their kiddies, and they're pretty darned tasty. And you could always add some Sprite Zero. (Kidding.)

Or just stick a diet Mt. Dew in the freezer for a few minutes...

:floor:...in that form...NO! You know me well, jdarg. :puke:

I was trying - I think I made myself sick.:blink:

Miss Kitty likes them in the non-virginal way.

:floor:...I'll take number three!

I think you're barking up the wrong board. . . .but I'm sure you can google "mocktails" and come up with fun drinks!

A TV reporter jn New Orleans has a series every holiday season called '12 for the road' where somebody shares a recipe to make a non-boozy drink. Here is a link to last year's series:http://www.wwltv.com/blcS.sc?cat=multi&search=12+for+the+road

I read this to my cats...
with 2 paws up & quick flicks of their tails they assured me that this is a truth that they'll be more than happy to prove should I risk testing them!!!

1. Try mixing 1 part Minute Maid Light Lemonade
2. 2 parts sugar free sorbet your choice of flavors
3. 6 - 10 ice cubes per drink

Blend and serve into Frozen Glass

*also for a great low carb Margarita use 2 parts M.M.L. Lemonade and Tequila ( you could sub Sprite or Gingerale and serve frozen or on the rocks)
