But I really miss my wine. What are some nonalcoholic drinks you like to have? I always have a water bottle with me, and I've been drinking lots of sparkling grapefruit-flavored water (the "flavor adjacent" kind like La Croix). I just read an article in 1843 about the advent of low/no alcohol cocktails. Ordinarily I'd laugh and make a martini or a negroni but it doesn't sound bad now...
A friend of mine was in a similar situation to yours and this is what she came up with for her nonalcoholic cocktail. Simply Limeade, sparkling water/club soda & a wedge of lime. She invited us over one afternoon and served us this drink on her porch. I really enjoyed it enough to go buy the Simply Limeade and make it when we want a change.
