Sparkling water with a dash of lime cordial, lots of ice and a slice of lime....my non alcoholic tipple x

In answer to Ballerina's question regarding 'fake drinks' I was actually referring to social occasions in the 1970s when if you didn't drink alcohol you were made to feel a social outcast and some people thought they were funny by putting alcohol into people's drinks (I think it was called 'spiking'). Alcohol has a life-threatening effect on my respiratory system, so it has always been essential that I know what I am drinking. Now it is more socially acceptable not to drink alcohol I quite happily order a small bottle of water whenever we go out.
