Mocktails and ginger ale

[wittyandwaiting]

What's everybody drinking these days?

Any fun mocktail recipes to share?

How are you hiding your nondrinking?

I am drinking all the seltzer with lime. I don't know if it's fooling anyone, but at least no one has said anything to my face.

Of course we've got plans to go to a brewery with my brother and SIL this weekend... Awesome planning.

my plans for the wedding I am going to next weekend is cranberry and sprite with a lime - I might even act a little silly for effect

Pretty much just water, sometimes with lemon and lime slices in it.

We don't drink much so hiding it isn't a problem.

I'm drinking San Pellegrino with either lime or pomegranate.

Pomegranate my new love.

Luckily it happened after we moved. My in-laws would have noticed immediately if I wasn't drinking wine with them. We're still settling into our new neighborhood but everyone knows I like beer so it's going to be hard to fool anyone when we start doing happy hours. I'm probably going to avoid going to stuff for a while because I don't want to talk about it until we know the baby is healthy, I'm more nervous this time than I was with DD.

ETA I crave ice water so that's all I'm drinking. I tried to have coffee the other day and it was horrible so I might just quit that cold turkey.

My in-laws own a bar, so I am there at least once a week simply because that's where we all hang out (there's also food). Over the last year I've purposely ordered something non-alcohol occasionally for this very reason. So far it hasn't raised any suspicion.

Lemon lime and bitters (sans vodka). Cranberry and lime. Anything lemon lime is saving me right now.

You're brilliant.

I'm not a big drinker, so no issues.
Sometimes I like something with bubbles, and an Italian Soda is much better than a regular soda (its just bubble water and a little flavor, low sugar if possible). I will probably be drinking a lot of those!

Sneaky tips from tailgating with friends last time. We had cleaned out some empty corona bottles and filled them with sparkling cider and put on the wine saver top and hidden underneath other things. Also a few times empty smirnoff ice's with sparkling water. People didn't notice and that I had a bottle in my hand helped. Coosies helped disguise the color a bit for the corona.

Right now I'm not really in need of fooling people *just* yet...

For the most part I don't drink enough that I have to hide it. I do have a friend coming to visit for a night this week. I feel like it's too early to tell, but she will be hurt when I tell her later if not... So I might be mock tailing with iced tea lemonade as a front for firefly/lemonade...

We're going on vacation in 2 weeks with my parents and my sister and BIL. We're going to have to tell them. We're all drinkers, not heavily or anything but alcohol with dinner ESPECIALLY ON VACATION is completely the norm. I'm not good at faking so...yea. It will be early but it's just the immediate family so I think I'm ok with it.

When I was pregnant with DS I drank all the Shirley temples. OMG soooo good.
