Hi guys and happy Friday! As you know, I stopped drinking for a few weeks and since then I have been trying to not drink as much as I previously did. Although I don't need to have a drink all of the time, I think the idea of having a drink can help you relax and make you feel like you are having a bit of a treat. So instead of sticking to the boring diet coke which I drink day in day out, I have found four soft drinks that feel like you are having a well deserved drink (just without the taste of alcohol), all not too high in calories and the best part is that they are all under €3.50 individually!! 1. The Fake - Tail: First up is this bottle of Sparkling Orange & Mango. It's from the Spirit of Summer range in Marks & Spencers. There are a few different flavours to chose from, however this is the only one I have tasted so far. This will be my non- alcoholic version of a cocktail, it is slightly fizzy but easy to drink and makes you forget that there is no vodka in the mix. Not only does it taste good, it's only 315 calories for the whole bottle and costs just €3 16 c2. Make me a Cosmo! This drink is different to any of the other alternatives to alcohol that I have tried, the reason being is that it is extremely cheap at €0.89 cents so I doubt many people would think of it as a treat or a night out drink. So what separates it from any other lemonade? The cherry flavour gives it a real kick however it isn't something that you would great a lot of as it is very sweet, therefore making it a good substitute for a vodka and cranberry! The best part about it is, is that it only has 16 calories for a 250ml glass! 3. Pop the Champagne!! These two are definitely my favourite's from Marks & Spencers. Their Sparkling Juice Range is their equivalent to non- alcoholic wine. There is a wide range of flavours to choose from, these are the only two I have tried so far, Apple & Cranberry and the Apple, Mango & Passion Fruit flavours. I have to say the Apple, Mango & Passion Fruit one is definitely my favourite one. It is extremely refreshing especially when really cold, perfect for a summer evening and best of all when you open it it sounds like you are popping a very expensive bottle of real Champagne. Both of these bottles were €3.50 each and in a full bottle of the Apple, Mango & Passion Fruit one there is 390 calories. This means you can feel like you are having a treat without the hangover! So there you go guys, if you are having an alcohol free night in but fancy something a little bit different these are my top picks from Marks & Spencers without breaking the bank or being too high in calories! Love as always, Em xx
