Tonic water: Q, Fever Tree, East India. Drier is better, for me. I love tonic water.
Bitters & soda: plenty of NA bitters of many flavors, out there. Put a few dashes in soda water with ice and lemon, lime, orange, cucumber, whatevs.

I'm big into seltzers, Lagunitas Hoppy refresher is also great. I'm also a sucker for a Labatt NA from the freezer on a hot day.

Pellegrino sparkling water on ice with a squeezed lime wedge. As refreshing as a G&T.

Polar seltzer. The pride of Worcester, MA.

Topo Chico is an oddly addictive mineral water. Just a hint of biterness. I was very skeptical when they widened their product line to include things like a 'twist of lime'. I was wrong, that shit is good.

I can crush a half dozen Topo Chicos a day, so long as they're in the glass bottle. I prefect the sabor limon ones, but really I'll drink any/all.
the women at the coffee roaster where I work (for two more weeks) have been doing this wild iced matcha tea drink with (oat/soy/almond/cow's) milk and a little honey. I really enjoy these, but I drink them like I'm trying to put out a fire behind my sternum, so once I go to a new job and have to be on the $4 side of the counter from these, it probably won't be worth the money.

I'm boring and stick to water and tea, but my rare fancies otherwise are Dandelion & Burdock, or Ginger Beer.

Coffee all day, every day.
Erdinger non alcoholic is a really good alternative to beer. It isn't really a non alcoholic beer, although it very much works as a replacement. I try to avoid Brewdog as they are a pretty horrible company.
Really like Seedlip as a spirit substitute with tonic. Very sip-friendly.

Kombucha, though technically it has a trace amount of alcohol. (there's also spiked kombucha, but I'm not counting that here)

Yep, those are good too. I'm so glad bars have started stocking stuff like this in the last few years. I still drink but a little goes a long way with me.

Gerolsteiner - initially I was into just the sparkling mineral water, but the sparkling apple has been my new fave (not too sweet):
