The age old question, what do you order at a bar when you don’t drink? Besides the old standby, water, there are not many choices out there. My favorite drink to order is a seltzer with cranberry juice and lime. It’s colorful, refreshing and tasty and is a great alternative when the bottled water starts to get boring.

If you are at a restaurant you can try a virgin margarita, but ask whether the mix is frozen, pre-made, etc. If the alcohol is the main ingredient in a watered down magarita mix and you take out the alcohol, you end up with a watery mess of pink stuff.

At home, and for dinner parties I like to drink Martinelli’s sparkling cider. They have many different flavors and varieties, some organic, and all yummy. Put some cider in a nice wine glass at your next dinner party and you certainly won’t feel like you are missing out while others are drinking wine or champagne.

Cheers!
