Technically that is a "Bloody Shame" - still not a bad idea!
@OP - Big Tom is pretty nice and available in supermarkets.
Although obviously so is Tomato Juice, Tabasco plus Lee&Perrins
"Real" lemon based drinks are pretty good too - PLJ is a decent brand
Waitrose also do nice squashes, can't think of the brand but it comes in Green glass bottles.

Pubs and Restaurants are more of a problem
All those kind of drinks are nice in moderation but I just feel sick if I have more than one or two.
The only things I can drink in any quantity on an evening out are alcohol free lagers and coffee but you can imagine how popular I am when I order coffee in a busy town pub on a Saturday night
Another vote for Lime and Soda, very refreshing if it's hot and sweaty in the pub.
An alternative if you don't want anything too sweet, Soda water and Bitters. Most bars have a bottle of Angostura lurking on the back somewhere. It does have alcohol in it but you use so little it won't notice.
You can also buy little (like 20ml or so) bottles of gin/whisky/etc flavouring. They are sold with the idea you infuse them into vodka to make your own cheap spirits.
What you can also do, since they're very very concentrated, is add just one or two drops to a glass of ginger ale or tonic water to get a rough approximation of a G&T or whatever. I tried a gin one a while ago and it was actually OK.
The bottles are so small you might consider them acceptable to carry one in your jacket pocket and I don't think it would cause issues in a pub. Could be worth a look anyway.
