What soft drink to drink?

[TonyHetherington]

Once you've got past the gay jokes, what are new and interesting choices of soft drinks in pubs?

Being the drummer in the band means I drive most times to a gig and so end up drikning soft drinks for the night.

Coke gets tedious, as does lemonade. I started drinking orange juice+lemonade but even that'd getting tedious now also.

Is there anything weird and wonderful (especially strange concoctions) that you wonderful lovely people out there in PH land have tried?!

I'm sure there was a thread on this previously but I can't find it within the search - maybe it's 2+ yrs old.

Thanks world
Tony

How about J20? - there's quite a few different flavours.

It can get a bit sickly though...

Yeah that's exactly what I think - you can only have 1, maybe 2 max in any one sitting!

Someone above though suggested J20 and then topped up with lemonade. That sounds like a superb idea!

coke and orange juice

In the same glass?

[TonyHetherington]

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.

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

I can believe that!

Will report back from my newly inspired soft drinking habits

Thanks world

I assume the coke/orange thing is half/half?!


I've never quite got Red Bull - not keen on the taste and caffeine doesn't give me the wide awake hit that it gives everyone else. However, in the interests of science, I will add that into the mix also. Fine work guys, knew I could count on PH!

It doesnt help Tony but Tequila and Vodka is a good mixer for Red Bull.

A PH drink if ever there was one.

(hang on, are you serious?! I know that drink as a TVR)

That's the stuff

Well, thanks for all the advice everyone!

I can confirm that, after a weekend of being "Des", I tried some new soft drinks!

The muddy waters (coke/orange juice) was much nicer than I thought it would be. Tastes strongly or orange juice (perhaps mine was a little strong) but nice nevertheless. One for the future for sure, to be sure, for sure.

The other I found myself quite liking was soda and lime. Especially at 40p a time! Very sippable, not sickly (in a sugary way) and nice to just drink occasionally.

So, thanks one and all - project "soft drink" was a success!

Are you taking the mick, now?!
