I like sparkling water and elderflower cordial.

I am concerned with your statement "keeping a clear head"

How much wine do you drink that it impacts your judgement?

One alcoholic drink will impact your judgement- whether you acknowledge it or not.

Soda and lime does it fit for me. Long drink and not too sweet.

Blimey Hithere slightly judgmental, if you don’t drink much you can even feel one glass.

Many hotels etc do 'Mocktails' which look identical to the real thing. Why not ask when you are there?

Snap! Septima. That’s the one. ?

Not sure what it’s called but there’s a refreshing sparkling elderflower drink that’s a good substitute for wine.

Elderflower pressé is what we usually default to.

Water, even sparkly does it for me, slice of lemon or lime, sorted

Tonic water with ice and a slice of lemon? Nobody will know there isn’t a Gin in there!

I am going to my grandson's wedding which will be an afternoon through to evening 'do'. I drink wine usually but need a substitute as I want to keep a clear head. Any suggestions for something that looks like a 'real' drink?
