A tasty nonalcoholic evening drink invention Login/Join

After supper I settle down to my daily laptop duties (checking my accounts, paying bills online, etc). Then some reading.

And I have to have something liquid to sip. Until a few months ago, that’s been beer or wine. Then I decided that I ought to reduce my alcohol intake, and began looking for an alternative liquid to replace some of the alcohol. Coffee wouldn’t interfere with my sleep, but I’m just coffeed-out by then. After trying various liquids I settled on Silk brand soy milk. Specifically the “Unsweetened” variety – it tastes best to me, and has the fewest calories to boot.

About a month ago, I discovered the “Green Pepper” variety of Cholula, which I really like. Then I decided to try some of that in the soy milk. I know it sounds weird, but it’s absolutely delicious! Even addictive!

The Green Pepper Cholula is pretty viscous, so I use the following technique to get it blended into the soy milk: I first put just a little bit of the milk into a glass (~3/16”), then the Cholula, and use a fork as a whisk to blend. Then I fill my glass with the milk and stir.

Again, I know it sounds weird, but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

Pray tell what is Cholula?

That is odd. Really odd. Intriguingly odd.

I don't know if I can step away from my occasional old fashioned/scotch/beer long enough to try it.

I love Cholula...
But I will stick with Clausthaler or Buckler for an NA drink.

My "Mocktail" is tasty and refreshing, simple to make, very low calories. I like it year around but especially hot summer days.

Only 3 ingredients: Sparkling Water (I use Perrier), cranberry juice (I use the low calorie Ocean Spray brand but use any you want) and a slice of lime.

Start with ice in the glass.
Pour in one part Cranberry Juice
Add 3 to 4 parts Sparkling Water (to your taste)
Add a slice or wedge of a lime, squeezed in then used as a garnish.
Stir
Enjoy

The only issue I've ever had when referring this Mocktail is people substituting. Do NOT use tap or bottled water, mineral or tonic water. Use only Sparkling water, found in your grocery in either the bottled water or mixers area. I use Perrier brand because I get it by the case at Costco or SAMS.

Has anyone experimented with making a truly ZERO alcohol "beer" ? ....like by adding malt flavor and hops to sparkling water ?

The NA beers we have now still have a small quantity of alcohol as a residual of the brewing process. I know it is small, but I would like to eliminate it. ....and I love beer. Frown

shoot. I didn't know you could do that! That should be on some life hack list.

Oh, I do like cholula. It's my number one preference. second would be Tapatio. Last would be Louisiana hot sauce. I would never go to Tabasco; it's just vinegar and hot pepper.

We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly.

Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

You ought to try a big hot cup of broth (chicken, beef or vegetable) with a couple of teaspoons of Choula chipotle. Very good with pretzels.

That actually takes more work than the method TatorTodd mentions.

Maybe we need a bad karma draw to see who has to go out and make one of these soy-peppermilk drinks to verify.

I never touch soy. Though chances are that it is only a myth, the claim long ago that soy milk causes gynecomastia has steered me away from that stuff probably forever.

That drink does sound pretty good though.

But anyway, for now, I'll stick with whiskey.

I’m allergic to soy so I drink dark chocolate almond milk. I normally don’t like dark chocolate but this is amazing.
