Strongly agree about iced tea and kombucha. Both can be bought or made at home, and are naturally complex, fruity, and diverse in flavor.
I think people suggesting very sugary drinks like coke are missing the point somewhat
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I like lime sparkling water. You get the bubbles and it has a nice taste
Fucking fudgee-o bars. Or, the haaagen-dasz or magnum or whatever -- Ice cream bars dipped in chocolate.
It's second ONLY to a cold-as-hades low-booze beer like a corona.
I nice cold seltzer with a lime wedge.
Dang. It somehow did not occur to me to add a lime wedge. You've probably improved my weekend evening drink forever. Thanks.
(No sarcasm, I've just been enjoying a nice seltzer habitually for several months and never once thought to add fruit. I feel kinda silly. But thanks.)
How about a fancy coffee or tea? Not the same stuff you drink at work, you add a flavored creamer or something and just sip it on the couch.
Glass bottle coke, cane sugar variety
Homemade almond milk with toasted ciconut, cinnamon and tumeric and lime juice and idk pineapple
Caffeine free iced herbal tea.
fruit smoothie
Big fan of a virgin mojito.
Just sparkling water, mint, lime, and a little bit of syrup to taste, as cool as it is refreshing.
A perfectly made Ocean Water from Sonic does it for me
A virgin bloody mary.
Many mixed drinks can be made without the alcohol.
Ice-cold Coke?
Virgin mixed drink? (e.g., mai tai, daiquiri)
Ice-cold spiced coconut water. I like the kind with ginger, lime, and turmeric in.
Vita Malt or Malta Goya might be worth a try. They are malted soft drinks flavored with barley and hops. A South American or African grocery should have them or similar brands if you can't find them at your regular grocery. They will probably be in the international section.
Orange Vanilla Mio mixed with Key Lime LaCroix is a great drink. I feel like I almost got to where I was spending as much on that as I used to spend on beer and had to cut back on it too, but I don't mind it when I do!
Have you tried any non alcoholic beers? Some aren’t terrible but not sure if there are any that are fruity though.
Water
As someone who's trying to drink less. An ice cold topo chico does it for me. I don't like the flavored ones either
