great cocktail book.. even if you are not pregnant!
Love the colorful pages and the great photos. Not only did I get the details on how to make the drinks but also what it should look like (and the glass to use!) Fun writing, easy to follow and fresh ideas. I am going to make this an addition to my ‘gifts to give’ list…
The drinks were so good, I didn’t even miss the alcohol!
a great book for healthier drinkers.. and mom’s (&dad’s) to be.
Excellent Book of Virgin Cocktails for the Ex Virgin
Normally I wouldn’t bother reviewing a non-alcoholic drinks book (I don’t want to encourage their spread) but I am making an exception in this case because it was written with pregnancy in mind rather than some Fascist/Prohibitionist agenda. Natalie does a very creative job creating excellent cocktails to lessen the suffering of pregnant women who are craving real cocktails.
The book features 75 recipes with ingredients, directions, etc. all of which are quite good and inventive. They not only taste good but are pleasing to the eye. One of the best books on non-alcoholic cocktails out there.
As a bonus, there is a fair amount of pregnancy affirmations in there for people who like that kind of thing, which also makes it a great gift for a baby shower- just jot a couple of the recipes down beforehand so you can hand the mother to be one (or several) of these cocktails during the shower- she’ll probably need them by then!
Preggatinis is one book you'll really use!
Preggatinis: Mixology for the Mom-to-Be is a delightful, fun, colorful book full of bright and cheerful photos of sexy non-alcoholic cocktails (with pre-preg and daddy recipes as well). As a newly pregnant woman, I found this book to be a refreshing collection of uplifting passages and yes-you-can easy and healthy recipes! With all the heavy reading to do about pregnancy and what you can’t ingest, how wonderful to have a collection of delicious green-light cocktails! They are all the author’s original creations, with fun names like Folic Fizz and Gingerly Gestating. Ms. Bovis-Nelsen has brought her snappy chic LiquidMuse.com writing style to her first book, and I highly recommend it for yourself, as a baby shower gift, or for anyone who would like to drink healthy beautiful drinks without guilt.
These non-alcoholic drinks are sure to delight the palate of all tasters
Illustrated with color photography sure to whet one’s thirst, Preggatinis: Mixology for the Mom-to-Be is a most remarkable guide to mixing delicious non-alcoholic drinks, perfect not only for pregnant (or soon-to-be pregnant!) women, but also for anyone who prefers their cocktails without intoxicants. Preggatinis are not the same as syrupy, so-called “mocktails”; they are composed of freshly squeezed juices, fresh fruit or vegetables, herbs, and homemade syrups, and thus usually feature nutrition as well as great taste! Best of all, there are “de-virginize” options for these drinks, perfect for dads, nonpregnant friends, and anyone else interested in enjoying a preggatini with an extra kick. From “Berry Cherry Blossom” to “Hot Buttered Mum’s Rum” and “Pomegranate Cooler”, these drinks are sure to delight the palate of all tasters. Highly recommended, especially as a baby shower gift.
great gift
This was a gift for a friend. While the idea of the book is a little toung in cheek, the actual book and its content is pretty useful! These are healthy drinks for the mom-to-be and can be made with some basic ingredients.
delicous
Hi LOVE this book! The drinks was wonderful tasting even if they are alcohol free. I only gave it 4 stars because sometimes the products recommended in the book are difficult to find in a grocery store.
Mixology - Non - Alcoholic drinks.
Thought the book was great. Would never have ordered it given the title. Saw an article in the local paper about the book, and decided to check it out on Amazon. Excellent book for those looking for an alcohol alternative in fancy, festive drinks.
FANTASTIC!!
I love this book!! As a professional bartender I found the drinks to be unique and innovative. As a dad-to-be, this is a great way to do something special for your lady when little things mean a lot! Best of all the drinks are DELICIOUS!
