> What are you drinking instead? I don’t like sweet sodas at all, and tea is good but just doesn’t have the same cocktail like complexity that I enjoy. Club soda mixed with lime juice and a dash of angostura bitters is decent but I’ll probably grow bored with that soon. Anything else?

I do a mix of soda and pomegranate juice when I’m not drinking for whatever reason. You could probably come up with a mixture of club soda/sparkling water with a splash of pomegranate or cranberry juice. I think it wouldn’t be too sweet especially if you used 100% cranberry juice.

I also like ginger beer (which is generally non-alcoholic). That might also be something to try.
