What else besides wine and sparkling drinks can I offer my man and or friends when they are over,avoiding coke
What are typical or common beverages that are nonalcoholic to serve and will satisfy both your man and your friends?All I can think of is limeades, tea, lemoneade, cranberry juice, grape juice or gingerale but all of those just sound so Martha Stewart I need more options for beverages that are nonalcoholic and would cater more to a man and aren’t girly.

There are a fair number of mixes you can make depending on what their tastes are.
Mock champagne — apple juice, ginger ale, and lemon juice.
"Safe" Sex on the Beach–cranberry juice, grapefruit juice, and peach nectar
Shirley Temple –Ginger ale, grenadine syrup, and orange juice
Virgin Mary – a Bloody Mary without the vodka
You can mix clamato juice with non alcoholic beer as well.
Arnold Palmer — iced tea and lemonade
This one is yummy but I am not sure how "manly" it is
Combine all 3 ingredients in blender and blend till smooth.
1 1/2 cups raspberry juice
3 scoops raspberry sherbet
1/2 cup carbonated water
Another good one….Mix all ingredients except mint leaves they are for garnish in a big pitcher.
Mock mint Julep
1 quart apple juice
1 cup orange juice
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 sprig fresh mint leaves
Coffee, tea, water, milk shakes or jucie
powerade and kool aid
Coffee’s always good. You can set up a milkshake station with different things to add in and let everyone make their own. Good luck!
Um, non-alcoholic beer?
Iced tea or coffee…chocolate milk…
Sheesh, just buy a case of beer.
Tomato juice, squeeze of lime or lemon
Clamato juice, squeeze of lemon
Grapefruit juice
Bloody mary mix (Virgin mary)
Basically any alcoholic drink can be made without the liquor and taste pretty good. You may substitute a little water and tonic in order to dull the sweetness.
Crystal Lite Raspberry with a squirt of lime and a lime slice in the glass. Make iced tea from scratch,using reg. or decaf teabags,refrigerate till cold. I make herbal iced tea daily in a large pitcher. Peach mixed with lemon or raspberry. 4 bags in the pitcher pour boiling water into the pitcher only if it won’t break. Like plastic. My family likes it plain but you could add sugar or sugar sub. for sweetness.
Get you a blender, a huge bag of ice, fresh fruit like chunks of pineapples, strawberries, maraschino cherries, slice some oranges, and create a little happy hour set at the house with your guy and your friends. You could make virgin daiquiris and pina coladas…it’s so much fun and Bacardi has various flavors to choose from…you could also get some vanilla ice cream to blend in the daiquiris and a can whip cream to top it off- Another thing that would help is to have some cute glassware to pour the drinks in…cheers!
