This is an unusual recipe for a thirst-quenching non-alcoholic drink. It’s sort of like a fizzy non-alcoholic margarita. It is made with fresh squeezed lime juice and fresh squeezed lemon juice and sweetened with Stevia and blue agave syrup. Blue agave syrup is a healthy alternative to sugar because it is natural, it is lower in calories than sugar and has a low glycemic index.

Cranberry juice concentrate is available online from a few sources. It is 4 to 5 times more concentrated as regular fruit juice – depending on the brand.

This is another non-alcoholic drink made with pomegranate juice concentrate, fresh orange juice and club soda. It is naturally sweetened so no additional sweetener is needed. Pomegranate juice concentrate is available online. My favorite brand is FruitFast from brownwoodacres.com. It is highly concentrated. Normally, water would be added to make pomegranate juice, but in this recipe club soda is added. It is loaded with antioxidants and is very delicious.

This is my recipe for lemon-limeade. It is quick and easy and best of all, it’s fresh. I buy limes and organic lemons from a local grocery store and keep them in the refrigerator. I also have a Lime Squeezer and a Lemon Squeezer to make the job go fast. The amounts can easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled for a larger batch.

Lemon-Limeade is a very delicious and refreshing … especially on a hot summer day!

Here’s a recipe for another non-alcoholic cocktail for those occasions when you need to serve a non-alcoholic beverage. It is similar to the Lemon and Tonic recipe in that it will form a pronounced head. For best results, use chilled ingredients. The Stevia-sweetened version makes a better head than the powdered sugar-sweetened version because the Stevia will dissolve more quickly, whereas the powdered sugar requires considerable stirring to dissolve completely. Use fresh club soda for best results.

This is a very delicious and refreshing non-alcoholic cocktail that you can whip together very fast.
