Favorite nonalcoholic drink for each season

Look in the tea section in most grocery stores. I buy teabags, and make like any other tea, adding milk.

Coffee

Summer: lemonade with mint (think non alcoholic mojito)
Fall: cider, cold or mulled or hot
Winter: real hot coco or chai
Spring: nothing comes to mind at the moment.

I drink 2 hazelnut (very small amount of syrup) lattes every morning, no matter the season.
In the summer I started making a whole grapefruit/cran-raspberry/lime juice/sometimes a little seltzer mixed with ice slushy thatā€™s really tasty. In the winter sometimes I drink Tazo teas. I drink lots of seltzer, and discovered Spendrift this year. It has some calories (maybe 20 in a can), but itā€™s really good.

I love fruit flavored Pellegrino.

Ginger beer at Aldi is a non-alcoholic soda with a unique spicy flavor. Itā€™s only sold in winter but I buy enough to satisfy my addiction all year round.

We donā€™t have hot chocolate often, but it is a nice winter treat sometimes. Yesterday hubby grabbed a quart of eggnog at the grocery store. Iā€™m not as ready as he is to plunge into holiday treats but will likely have someā€¦. canā€™t promise it will be non-alcoholic.

Family story: When kids were little, weā€™d go out to brunch whenever kids choir sang at church. When the little lad was in 2nd grade, we went to a nice new southern place. When the waitress took his order, he surprised us by reading the menu and saying, ā€œIā€™ll have the Homemade Hot Chocolateā€. Ha, normally we might have discouraged that pricey beverage, but oh my - we had no idea he could read that well and let him have it . I still smile at that story almost every time I have hot chocolate myself
