Which is fermented and therefore oh-so-mildly alcoholic. :fyi:




How about gazpacho soup? You drink it, it's cold, it's savoury. Mind you, it's also soup. :tongue:
Unsweetened soya milk perhaps? :^_^:

Fruit are sweet.

So I will just go and say tomato juice


Fruits like tomatoes?
lemon water? o.o
Lactose is a sugar like fructose so I would say milk doesn't count (and it tastes sweet)
Tomato Juice (I have no idea why that doesn't count? It is a bit sweet I guess)
Non alcoholic beer- that isn't a mixer! Who is making the rules? But it is pretty sweet.

Lemon water, iced ginger tea, iced black coffee - I'm unsure of the rules and also it's kind of about palate, because I think tonic water is super sweet and not savory at all.

As opposed to a metaphorical tomato?

A tomato may technically be a fruit (just as strawberries and raspberries technically aren't berries), but when they talk about fruit juice they're clearly talking about everyday fruits: i.e. the ones that go in fruit salads etc; rather than pedantic fruits.

pedantic fruits.


Like a "picky pear" or a "abstruse apricot"?
