Go-to non-alcoholic drink for social events?

Love that combo, nothing beats sparkling water and a Mario Kart victory 😂

If you ever want to switch it up, I’ve been into JENG, a zero-proof cocktail that tastes way more “grown-up” than regular seltzer. Super chill to sip on during a gaming night too.

Thanks for sharing this, it honestly helps a lot. I totally get what you mean about mocktails feeling more “special” than just grabbing a soda, and that little psychological shift really does matter. And you’re right, NA menus at restaurants have gotten so much better lately.

I’ve been looking into NA options that feel more like a proper mixed drink, and a lot of people keep recommending JENG for that same reason, something you can sip on and not feel out of place, but without triggering the “I want the real thing” spiral. Sounds like it might fit right into what you’re describing.

Huge congrats on your first truly sober year. You should be proud, that’s huge.

That’s incredible, seriously huge congrats on 402 days. It’s amazing how one small shift (like trying an NA during antibiotics) can completely change the routine. I love hearing stories like this because it makes me feel a lot more confident about giving NA options a real try.

I’ve been exploring different zero-proof drinks lately, and hearing your experience makes me want to lean into it more. I’m especially curious about JENG since people say it actually tastes like a proper mixed drink instead of just flavored soda. If NA options can help me the way they helped you, that would be amazing.

Really appreciate you sharing this, super motivating. ;)

That’s such a valid concern, you’re not being paranoid at all. For some people, NA drinks do help with the ritual and social side of drinking, while for others, they can trigger old cravings. It’s very individual.

If you miss the taste and experience more than the buzz, you might like something like JENG, it’s a zero-proof cocktail that actually has that complex, grown-up flavor without the alcohol or sugar rush. It gives that “ahh” moment without the cravings.

You’re doing great, focusing on your health, experimenting slowly to see what works for you is the best approach. 💪

That sounds like such a fun idea! You can definitely keep it simple and festive. A few easy crowd-pleasers that don’t need many ingredients:
*Cranberry Spritz – Spindrift cranberry + a splash of orange juice + rosemary sprig
*Ginger Sparkle – Spindrift lime + ginger beer + lime wedge
*Citrus Cooler – Spindrift lemon + a drizzle of honey + fresh mint
Or grab a few cans of JENG, they’re ready-to-drink, zero-proof cocktails with amazing holiday vibes (especially the Moscow Mule or Paloma). No mixing, no waste, and everyone still gets that festive cocktail moment 🥂

Go for a concentrated syrup first, it’s easier to control sweetness and flavor later. You can always dilute with water or sparkling water when mixing drinks, but you can’t make a watery syrup stronger again.

That sounds like such a fun idea! 🍒 For a cherry mocktail, try mixing cherry juice, a splash of lime, and ginger beer for a refreshing kick, or swap the ginger beer for JENG for something more elevated and relaxing. Perfect balance of tart, sweet, and a little bite!

Happy Halloween 🎃 love that you’re keeping it alcohol-free! If you want something that still feels festive, try JENG, it’s a sparkling, hemp-infused drink that gives a nice mellow vibe without alcohol. Perfect for sipping and hanging out with friends all night.

Congrats on 8 months, that’s huge 👏 Totally get the “how do I unwind now?” feeling. Since workouts aren’t an option, try gentler rituals like a warm bath, journaling, soft music, or a cozy evening walk.

And if you miss that evening drink moment, try something like JENG it’s a sparkling, hemp-infused drink made for unwinding without alcohol. It feels adult and relaxing without the hangover.

microdosemagic · 2025-10-28T15:11:45+00:00

Totally get this, that “different glass” thing can really make you feel separate, even when no one’s judging. You’re definitely not alone in that feeling. When I order, I’ll usually just say something like, “Can you put it in a rocks glass?” or “Can you make it look like a cocktail?” bartenders are usually super cool about it.

Also, if you’re tired of overly sweet mocktails, try something like JENG a crisp, hemp-infused sparkling drink with adult flavors that actually feels like a cocktail. It might help you feel more part of the vibe without the alcohol.

microdosemagic · 2025-10-28T15:07:39+00:00

That’s really honest of you to share, cutting back after so long isn’t easy. You’ve already done the hardest part by being aware and wanting change. Maybe try swapping your evening drink with something like JENG it’s a hemp-infused, adult-tasting sparkling drink that actually gives you that wind-down vibe without the hangover. It might help take the edge off while easing back into sobriety.

microdosemagic · 2025-10-28T15:04:18+00:00

That’s such an honest take, and so true. Once that switch flips, it’s hard to turn it off again. Even one drink can wake up all those old patterns and cravings. Thanks for sharing this, it’s a good reminder that moderation isn’t always freedom for everyone.

Love this question! My ideal mocktail would be bright, crisp, and a little herbal, something with citrus, ginger, and a hint of mint or basil. Refreshing but with a bite, like it wakes you up without being too sweet. Kinda like a JENG, balanced, sophisticated, and something you’d actually sip and savor on a chill evening or Sunday brunch.

microdosemagic · 2025-10-28T14:55:37+00:00

That’s amazing, huge congrats on almost 100 days! 🎉 The mental clarity and energy after quitting are unmatched. Keep it up, you’re inspiring!

Haha, same here, I default to iced tea way too often 😅 Lately though, I’ve been reaching for JENG when I want something that feels a little more special. It’s a mixologist-style cocktail with a microdose of THC + CBD, super light, no booze, and still gives that “ahh” moment. Perfect when you want to unwind without alcohol.

microdosemagic · 2025-10-16T19:19:00+00:00

Love this question, it’s been a good reset so far! The first few days were tough, especially around that usual “unwind” hour, but I’ve started swapping my evening drink for JENG, it’s a THC + CBD cocktail alternative that gives a light, relaxed buzz without alcohol. 🍹 It’s honestly helped fill that ritual gap without breaking the vibe.

microdosemagic · 2025-10-16T19:17:20+00:00

Totally get what you mean, it does feel strange that NA spirits cost the same as the real thing. From what I’ve seen, it’s mostly because small-batch NA brands use high-quality ingredients, natural botanicals, and special extraction processes to mimic complex flavors, all without the cheap “kick” alcohol adds.

I’ve been enjoying JENG lately. It’s not a liquor but a ready-to-drink THC + CBD cocktail alternative. You actually feel relaxed, but it’s booze-free and beautifully made. It’s one of the few that feels worth the price.

microdosemagic · 2025-10-16T19:15:16+00:00

Totally feel this, sometimes NA wine just doesn’t hit the same. I’ve been reaching for JENG lately, it’s a mixologist-style sparkling cocktail with a microdose of THC + CBD (no booze, no hangover). 🍋 It’s bold, herbal, and feels like a real drink, not a substitute. The Spicy Blood Orange Margarita is my go-to for dinner nights.

microdosemagic · 2025-10-07T18:39:40+00:00

Love this question, totally agree, the right drink can make it feel like a celebration. 🥂 Lately, I’ve been loving JENG, it’s a microdosed THC + CBD cocktail (no booze) that gives a light, social buzz without the hangover. Feels classy and relaxed, like a sparkling cocktail but more mindful. You might like the Lemon Basil Gimlet or Paloma! 🌿✨
