Low cal, tasty, non-alcoholic drinks for evenings out

Ok, so first I have to admit that I drank a lot of wine last night for Halloween. I am going out for a drink tonight with the Boyf and his Dad, and I really don't feel like drinking alcohol. However, neither do I want to spend the evening drinking water. I can't drink coke and some other fizzy drinks because they give me cystitis (irritated bladder). I love fruit juice, but although it is healthy it's also high calorie. This leaves me in a dilemma. Any suggestions?

    Gin, fresh lime and tonic is absolutely lovely and refreshing.
    And as far as low calorie goes, without drinking spirits straight I feel like if you enjoy gin this could be your best option :)

    Thanks for the suggestion - I do love G&T, but I wanted non-alcoholic suggestions!

    I have to ask: is "boyf" an actual thing?

    You said some fizzy drinks, can you have club soda? If yes maybe club soda with lime or a splash of cranberry or even grapefruit juice. Otherwise, I'd go with tea or coffee (iced).

    Thanks for all the replies people! really good ideas :smile:

    If by "is "boyf" an actual thing?" you mean "does he exist", then yes, he is real :tongue: If you mean, is it a real word, it is in the UK amongst my friends, not sure about US or other areas / social groups within the UK.

    i meant the second one. i'm not invested enough to distrust that he exists.
