When EnglishOne said "lemonade", in the U.S. that means 7-up or sprite. And yes, they have Advocaat here now at specialty stores, but I also ran across it about a week ago at Bristol Farms.

Giving recipes for Snowballs has gone way off topic!
Advocaat is an alcoholic beveridge and is not suitable for a teetotaller.
Anyway, if in England, you'd be lucky to find a pub that stocks advocaat - let alone a bartender who knows what to do with it.
Snowballs have a bit of a jokey-70s reputation in England.

You did not mention where the pubs are so I am assuming England but I bet my comments would be accurate for Ireland also. I must disagree with the response ira sent you about going to a restaurant as an alternative. You would be missing so much. We went to London and several other locales in the UK in 1998 and I still daydream about the pubs!! Each one has a distinct personality and is a huge part of the UK experience. Don't miss them just b/c you don't drink alcohol.

PJKeay: I gave a snowball recipe to Marly because she wanted to know about it, we are still on the pub/alcohol topic - who are you, the teacher 'marking' the paper?! 
a little english/ quirky /pub humour/joshing there......
And yes, I know all about snowball being very naff and uncool, but tried to be tactful by saying 'its what your grandma might drink'! Personally, I would rather put my arms in a shredder than be seen with a snowball! (nice mental image there)

Lots of people go to pubs and don't drink. I am off Alcohol for the next 3 months. I made a bet with a friend they could not do it and even offered to do it with them....so far so good! 
There are loads of things to drink, minerals(sodas), juices etc and in Ireland you can get a tea of coffee in the daytime and this is not unusual.
