What's your favorite non-alcoholic beverage?
Besides soda. I'm feeling blah about water lately, and I'm not big on soda except Hansen's and the occasional Coke Zero. What do you all drink? Iced tea? Crystal Light type stuff? Mineral water? I need some ideas for my next trip to the grocery store.

sugar free hot chocolate. I also enjoy virgin bloody mary's. There are a few non alcoholic mixes out there that are just yummy.
I also second the pineapple juice.
I craved pineapple juice when I was pregnant.
I love a nice cold glass of iced tea (brewed a little on the strong side). You could try iced green tea for a boost of antioxidants.
There are beverages that don't contain alcohol? Huh, who knew...
I'm kind of into sparking lemonade right now (I get it from whole foods - $3/bottle) - but I'm guessing you could make it yourself pretty easily. (also great with red wine, in case you need a spritzer).
I'm also a big fan of spicy bloody mary mix / tomato juice. I drink it every time I fly . . . no alcohol in it.
Non alcoholic and water and Diet Coke are out.... Hmmm ... I think that's all I drink ...
OH! Emergen-C. I like that when I'm hungover
Especially the Cranberry Pomagranite flavor.
if you want to DIY, smitten kitchen has some fun drinks on her website. I can vouch for the watermelon lemonade and the lemon mint granita (for some reason it's listed under fruit and not drinks), but both scream summer drinks to me.

Simply Lemonde is AWESOME. But I agree you need to water it down, I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that.
lately it's been pink lemonade
ETA: sweet leaf - mint and honey
have you tried cherry coke zero?! i'm sooo hooked!
otherwise, i usually drink grape G2 (the light gatorade), or tea. oh or sometimes raspberry lemonade (i water it down a little for fewer calories)
I love this stuff!
I like the flavor of the Crystal light packets, but I don't like artificial sweeteners so I stopped using them. Here are my current non-water faves:
Cold- Pineapple juice, Odwalla carrot juice, Knudson Black Cherry juice, Santa Cruz lemonade (not very sweet- doesn't need to be watered down,) Dublin DP, iced tea
Hot- Bigelow Green Chai tea
I had no idea there was an actual name for this. In Laredo aka Little Mexico we call it half and half. Seriously, drive through ANY drive through in Laredo and ask for mitad y mitad you get iced tea and lemonade.
