Alcohol free drinks syn-free or low in syns

[Pat-a-Cake]

I used to drink spirits or wine but switched to beer as my husband is a beer lover and in the warm weather it was refreshing. Though I've noticed my belly being a lot more bloated than usual and I've put on 10lbs in 6 weeks!!

So I've decided to cut down on alcohol and cut out beer all together.

I like fizzy, fresh things. I like Soda and lime in pubs but don't really know how to make it... It probably sounds stupid but I don't know if I should use sparkling water with lemon or sodacream/soda water with lemon squash? Any suggestions for refreshing cold drinks?


Thanks

This may sound ridiculous but I've been adding lemon to my diet coke recently and honestly feel at times like in drinking vodka and diet coke! Yum!

Tesco does a sugar-free lime cordial which is lovely with chilled fizzy water.

I work in a pub and as I am allergic to Pepsi (not coke strangely) and Pepsi is what they have on pump, and I am allowed to drink anything on pump, I thought soda and lime would be a good choice. However I then realised lime is 3syns a pop!!! Not good so having soda water and a drop of oj (literally a tiny amount) just to take the edge off.

Theres a newish alcohol free 'beer' called Equator which is syn free - tastes nice too!

you could have any of the robinsons sugar free squashes with soda water, some ice and a slice at least it will look the part. I have always found alcohol free beer pretty rank to be honest ( i tried a lot when i was pregnant lol) x
