How can I convert a drink to be non-alcoholic without losing the flavor?

Question

I recently stumbled upon a cache of drink recipes that sound absolutely delightful, and I am eager to try them out. The only problem is, I'm one of those people who physically cannot imbibe alcohol in any amount without a nasty, allergy-like reaction that sends me to the emergency room. So, does anyone know of a method of mixing drinks without alcohol that keeps close to the original flavor of the drink?

Example drink: Fountain of Youth

* 4 cl Bacardi Lemon

* 1 cl Peppermint Green

* 3 cl Apple Juice

* 1 cl Lime

* Sprite

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Just leave out the Becardi

Answer 2

I would just leave out the alcohol, but include a different liquid that has similar tastes to the alcohol. So, that way, you still get the same basic flavor. :)

Answer 3

All you can do is eliminate the alcohol.  You could try adding, a bit of lemon juice to the recipe above along with a splash of tonic water.  The tonic water will give a bit of bitter/alcohol 'taste'.  Don't over-do it tho...

Also, since you can't take in any alcohol, you won't have anything to compare it to!!!

No problem!
