I know you’ve had juices, but how about cranberry juice with crushed lemon ice.

Ginger ale is always great when you’re sick. The ginger has soothing medicinal properties. Try ginger tea too.
Pick up some sparkling water, seltzer or club soda and mix it with juice for a light beverage. Grape or orange juice work well (if you are well enough to handle the OJ). Juice alone can be too heavy and sugary to drink a lot when you’re sick.
Oops. Almost forgot. Gatorade is good to drink when you’ve been sick with a stomach bug. It helps rebalance your electrolytes.
Feel better!

I was going to suggest apple cider, but see that it’s already there….. You can always make some hot cocoa, using Coffeemate liquid creamer, or any other non-dairy liquid creamer:) Maybe with ovaltine? ….. Try a big teaspoonful of honey in your tea, and some lemon. That’s what my mom always gave me for a sour throat:) …… FEEL BETTER SOON! …. Oh! It’s not a liquid, but have someone buy you some Hagen Daz fruit sorbets. They taste wonderful and have no dairy in them (mango, lemon, strawberry, raspberry)

Hot water mixed with honey. Add a slice of lemon or orange if you want, and maybe a little sprig of mint.

If you now have laryngitis you don’t need to have ice cold drinks. That will make it worse. Best is hot Swanson’s chicken broth. Sip it like tea. And when it cools down have it at room temp to keep your throat moist.

I put a slice of orange, like you would a lemon, in a pitcher of water. Let is set for a little while in the fridge and enjoy. Hope you feel better soon.
You might try a different flavor of tea. They make a decaffeinated version of Constant Comment that I like.http://www.bigelowtea.com/shop/details.c…
I used to get a can of the frozen limeade concentrate. You’ll have to read the directions, but I substituted the number of cans of water required with ice and some water. I put it all in the blender and made a frozen beverage. You can also use OJ or lemonade concentrates.
You can use frozen fruits to make virgin daiquiris.*
I haven’t ever tried it but a grapefruit spritzer sounds tempting.**
