    Not to mention your tab will be cut IN πŸ‘ HALF. πŸ‘

    Do you not drink, but still like a lil' sumthin'-sumthin' in your glass (besides, like, water) at parties and events?

    Well recently, Reddit user u/SolitaryTeaParty posted in r/AskReddit, asking: "People who don’t drink alcohol, what’s your favorite mocktail or other drink of choice at formal events?" I figured with the holidays coming up β€” aka a very booze-heavy time of the year β€” it might be good for us nondrinkers to share our favorite NA concoctions that are simple enough to make/order just about anywhere!

    Here are some of the non-alcoholic drinks that people recommended:

    1. "The 'Shirley Temple' β€” Sprite, grenadine, and maraschino cherries β€” is a gold standard mocktail."

    β€”Nuttonbutton

    2. "Ginger ale, some crushed mint, and a wedge of lime = a fairly decent 'Nojito' (virgin mojito)."

    β€”Mehitabel9

    3. "Ginger ale with orange juice and a little 'spritz' of lemon juice."

    β€”RCKJD

    4. "Apfelschorle is the national non-alcoholic drink of Germany. It's a mixture of apple juice and club soda (not seltzer; the minerals are important). I do two or three parts juice to one part soda, but some people do 1:1. It's less sweet than straight juice and the minerals in the soda give it a slightly savory taste. You can do it with any juice."

    β€”joelluber

    5. "Tonic water with lime."

    β€”onugirl90

    6. "Pineapple juice and orange juice with a splash of grenadine."

    β€”thecampcook

    7. "Heineken Zero has been a blessing for me during social events. It’s funny because I NEVER liked beer, but once they removed the alcohol, I loved it!"

    β€”MarvelSanctuary

    8. "Ginger beer and grapefruit juice."

    β€”menerenebene

    9. "Ginger beer with lemon. You can also try mixing it with lime sour to make a virgin Moscow mule. It's also very tasty with pineapple juice!"

    β€”_manicpixie

    10. "A 'Roy Rogers,' aka Coca Cola, a splash of grenadine, and maraschino cherries!"

    β€”IDIOT_JERK_LOL

    11. "Seltzer, a bit of cranberry juice, and two limes!"

    β€”sydrobinson1

    12. "Club soda and grenadine."

    β€”CoolIceCreamCone

    13. "A mix of fresh lemonade and really sweet tea can't be beat. Arnold Palmers for life! Also, a splash of Sprite will give it a little kick."

    β€”aubieismyhomie

    14. "I like 'cosmonauts,' which are essentially non-alcoholic cosmopolitans β€” cranberry juice and lime juice!"

    β€”D_Shanty

    15. "Mango juice, smooth orange juice (the best you can find), lemonade, and lots of ice. Oh, and a little paper umbrella if you have one!"

    β€”KnavishSprite

    16. And lastly: "A non-alcoholic mimosa, aka orange juice and seltzer...not JUST orange juice!"
