Favorite Non-alcoholic drink

[sgt_zim]

In Zimbabwe, I liked Schwepp's Lemon
In Durban, it was a Rock Shandy
All over Texas, iced tea (Lousianne the best)
In Dallas, Health-Ade Passion Fruit-Tangerine Kombucha
Anywhere on earth--an ice cold Coca Cola

What are you having?

Cafe neri or water. My taste for anything other than adult beverages is largely non-existent.

Diet Mountain Dew... AKA Nector of the God's. I got addicted to regular high test Mountain Dew years ago when i would milk cows on 3rd shift, do chores most of the day and have to try and get field work done when I could, often late at night. Took a 12 pack of that dambed sugar and caffeine concoction with in the tractor cab. Had to switch to diet as my triglycerides went off the charts.

Just to further support how great this nectar is... when Reagan got elected and Nancy started her campaign against drugs. There was mandatory testing of all government employees. This included government scientists and researchers who had concerns of being able to pass a urine test. They quickly discovered that in chemical analysis as well as color and viscosity... Diet Mountain was the best urin substitute available!

This was all before I married @Just Gina There is no longer a justification for a Nector of the God's when you find yourself subservient to the Princess of All And having moved to Texas, every place we go has great unsweetened tea available. Gina has a really potent refined sweetener that we use for tea, coffee and lemonade

But I do still sneek a Diet Dew occasionally and substitute Coke lite or Coke Zero or Pepsi Max oversees

Redneck holy water

Girly answer incoming.

An iced mocha latte is pretty darn tasty and refreshing to me. Lots of different ways to make one. If you want to make it fun, add kahlua, cream de cocoa or Irish cream. I make a breakfast version with milk, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter powder and instant coffee powder.

I don't do anything but a rare diet soda these days but a cream soda or cream soda float is pretty good too.

Or a big glass of whole milk.

Apple cider from the now defunct orchard near where I grew up may be the best drink to ever cross my lips.

If thirsty, dry and in need of hydration, nothing beats fresh coconut Buko. However if that’s not available, slightly sweetened calamansi juice in crushed ice is also hard to beat.
