I don't drink alcohol but I love me some Dr. Pepper. Fountain pop Dr. Pepper. With the soft/chewable type ice. It's probably #regional as I did not discover this till I moved here and saw everyone else drinking their pop this way....
I didn't drink pop while pregnant so it's usually just water or lemonade or something boring right now. Boring is about all I can stomach though too.
IUI 1-3 BFN IVF #1 - Oct '15 - 10R, 3M, 0F IVF #2 - August 16 - 12R, 11M, 5F. 1 to transfer and 2 to freeze - BFP!! - MMC caught at 7w5d FET #1 - 1/26 - BFP, due 10/14
The thought of booze right now is actually making my stomach turn, but I'm a wine girl...white or red. I also love bloody Mary's.
Non-alcoholic: mostly just water (blah) but I have been craving apple juice too, which is weird because I never drink it. With DD I craved bloody Mary's so I made virgin ones all the time with her . I also have not had a diet coke in a while and I miss it. Especially a fountain coke.

I'm not normally a big drinker (I tend to be the DD a lot) but I had this drink that was bourbon based when H and I celebrated Valentine's Day and it was really good. I tend to like either a strawberry margarita or most drinks that include rum.
Non-alcoholic: I drink lots of water usually. Before pregnancy I had stopped drinking soda (I only had Sprite or Ginger Ale), I also like lemonade to help with the nausea.
Random note: H and I visited London before kids and their lemonade is the best thing ever!
Alcoholic: My friends nickname me the bartender. Before kids DH and I threw lots of small parties and I always custom make the cocktails based on the mood and occasion. I specialize in fruity sweet drinks where you can't taste the alcohol. I do all the wine, vodka, and specialty cordials. My fav is St Germain elderflower liqueur ... it's awesome. I'd drink it mixed with Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling, and if you're feeling festive it goes well with champagne. It is also a go to ingredient in many specialty cocktails. DH bought me a nice big bottle and I got my BFP that night, womp womp.
I don't do brown liquor (except for rum), tequila, or beer.
Non-Alcoholic - water of course. When we do go out, since "craft" cocktails are all the rage everywhere, I'll have the bartender make me a variation of one without liquor, and it will be really good.
Has anyone ever tried Fre? It's a wine that has had the alcohol removed. I tried it when I was 3rd tri with DD2 (lol, just in case) and it actually wasn't bad. I totally tested it with a breast milk alcohol test strip and it was legit 😄 We used it in a mommy sangria for a shower so it was even more watered down.
Honestly though, for me it's a mental thing when I'm pregnant my taste for alcohol just turns off until the 3rd tri, it's weird in a good way.

Back in the day when I was fun and not a lame-o person I could down some Cherry Bacardi and diet coke. Like we would go threw an entire bottle a night.
Nowadays my go to is a margarita or vodka tonic. I do red dark wine sometimes. Malbec is usually my go to.

Gosh! was at Ikea a couple of weeks ago and didn't see it but then again wasn't looking for it. I did score a half dozen packs of marzipan. Rama, yes to St. Germain however I used to make a cocktail from Elderflower water - Bottle Green from the UK, Bombay Sapphire and Lime juice - there's an English store in NYC that sells BG Elderflower water but it's expensive. I haven't had any alcohol in about 5 yrs? since we started IF treatments. Love a good dirty martini with extra olives and love Kir Royals. Other than a glass of champagne at new years eve and using wine for cooking, I am afraid how alcohol will affect me now. I was also always such a light weight anyways. Lately my beverages of choice are tea with sugar and milk, Milo and water and some ginger ale here and there to help with nausea so kinda blah. I cannot even stand the taste of coffee which I love the aroma and taste of before pregnancy this time around - well it's decaf but still...sad
