Maybe this will give me the inspiration to try it out.

I have two other suggestions to relieve your boredom -
[1] Rock Shandy: 1 part fresh orange juice, 1 part fizzy lemonade, a dash of Angastura bitters – not too sweet and very refreshing (this is the version I came across in Zimbabwe, apparently it varies from country to country)
[2] Apple zinger: 1 part cloudy apple juice (Liddle does a good cheap one), 1 part fizzy water, a splash of lime cordial – ahhhh.
Rock Shandy (or a Virgin Mary) would be my first choice in a bar, Apple zinger is normally my first choice at home.
All the best!
