Valkyrie Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Root beer anyone? Yes the dandelion and burdock is lovely, we sort of overdosed on that on our holiday earlier this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Lime, soda and Angastura bitters.. Yum. Elderflower cordial with soda is good too, with lemon slices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Leia Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Schweppes make a mixer for vodka called Russchian which is very good on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Actually it has now been rebranded & is no longer called Russchian. It is now a tonic water called Berry Blast (I think), - it has a little bit on the label saying 'formally known as Russchian' - I saw it yesterday at work It is very nice indeed, as is the elderflower tonic they also do.

Groovychook Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 There's a nice recipe in Decembers Waitrose mag. It's called Non Alcoholic Thai Lemonade. It's got lemons, limes, ginger, chilli, lemongrass & ginger ale in it. Sounds delicious... I'm going to give it a try this Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ready to serve, fill the jug with ice & top up with the ginger ale. Sounds lovely, but haven't tried it as yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks for that link Cinnamon - I drink a lot of water straight from the tap and enjoy it, but you've given me some brilliant ideas for when I'm back in Portugal in the heat. We've had the pineapple and mint combo in a restaurant - it was delicious, and we can buy the biggest watermelons in the world (slight exaggeration!) for very little money so I'll be giving that a go too. OH once bought the biggest one in the shop.....and we had to transport it home on the back seat of the car, strapped in so it didn't bounce about and knock one of us out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
