Need something nice but not naughty

[annc]

I'm under doctor's orders to avoid alcohol for two months, and possibly forever. So I need to find something to sip of an evening, and when I go to the pub or a restaurant with friends.

So – what do you suggest I try? Other than the boring orange juice or mineral water. There are some criteria, of course:

• non-alcoholic
• not sweet
• suitable for drinking before/with dinner
• suitable for drinking after working hard in the garden or with the horses (i.e. long and thirst-quenching)
• non-fattening
• not expensive

Of course, you could always suggest two – one as a replacement for that welcome beer after working with the horses or in the garden, and one to replace wine at dinner.

All suggestions welcome.
