Fizzy water, slimline tonic, diet coke, I am FED UP with them all. Not mad about that coconut water stuff ,but will try. Someone recommended some lovely refreshing sounding cucumber drink called Qcumber, but turns out it's full of sugar. Any ideas/inspiration gratefully received!!

There are mocktails in Tesco...the mojitos are 34 calories in a bottle and the strawberry daiquiri and peach bellini are around the same. Tasty too!

I had something called Tipsy Water, flavoured sparkling water, practically no calories. We were given a free sample of Gin and Tonic flavour, which sound VILE but was totally delicious, have also tried the Rose wine flavour which was also good. They don't taste alcoholic, just like a different sort of soft drink.
Sadly I can't seem to find where the hell you can buy them apart from one cafe near us :( I think they're newish
Shall have to stick to the hard stuff Grin

Twinings fruity teabags are really nice now. Infuse the hell out of them and then keep the resulting liquid in the fridge. Has the advantage of being really cheap.

Or I saw some natty new fruit-squeezer-cum-water-bottles - you shove half a citrus fruit in the bottom and top up with water. Looks great, not sure about the calories.

Thanks everyone. Chilling teas a really good idea. I have done that in the past with Japanese green tea and it was lovely. May try some of the other ideas too. Thank you!
