Lime and soda.
An outstanding choice.
Also very cheap!

Once (and only once), when I had a very very bad cold and I was allocated driver I asked the bar maid for a pint of warm black current juice, quietly.

It was about 20p...

...but that was when you could lie and say it was a pint of diesel lick

Not at all - the mark-up is far bigger than other soft drinks, and far more than beer.

Another vote for Lime plus Soda.

Its normally very cheap and has that taste that stops you swigging it down but very refreshing.

Soda is free and you get charged for 1 shot of cordial.

LL will hate you.

Most soft drinks are far too sweet for me. So generally it's grapefruit juice & soda. The missus has a very sweet tooth so makes it safe from getting nicked as well!

coke and orange juice
In the same glass? confused
yes, it looks like mud but tastes wonderful
+1
+2, think of it as orange and lemonade with caffeine.

Excellent stuff, that's given me some inspiration!

So, (driving tonight) I'll be trying lime and soda (might have to ask a girl to get it for me though) and coke+orange juice in the same glass.

Apple and Mango J2O is not as sweet as some (must try the add lemonade idea at some point!)

Coke and Orange is known as a 'Muddy Waters'.

I tend to have orange juice and soda as lemonade makes it too sweet for me.

Definitely going to give orange and coke a go though, sounds intrigingly filthy! smile

St Clements, which is Orange juice and bitter lemon mixed together.

There's another one which is really tasty, I can't remember exactly but think it's half ginger beer, half lemonade with a dash of Angosturas on top. Really refreshing summer drink.
pretty much a moscow mule without the vodka

Traditionally Moscow Mule has lime, no lemonade or angosturas (I was making them last week biggrin)

But there's a name for the one I posted above, can't remember it though.
I knew someone would say that but lemonade in lieu of lime and I put bitters in mine

How can you not know what's in a Moscow Mule?

Remember just before Christmas?
