The Spirit World

Cocktail books come in all shapes and sizes with a variety of themes and one of my favorite new finds has a very specific subject. Preggatinis: Mixology for the Mom-to-Be is a fun book that takes a look at the non-alcoholic drink in a completely new light, making the mocktail fun and exciting.

In this new book, Natalie Bovis-Nelsen (who we all know from her always informative blog, The Liquid Muse) has tackled a subject that has plagued many women who enjoy a good cocktail but dread the nine months of staying dry because non-alcoholic mixed drinks are typically pretty boring. The book is filled with fancy drinks that follow each stage of pregnancy and have a purpose beyond taste. Drinks include carrots that soothe the stomach during the morning sickness stage, a combination of pickles and ice cream for those weird cravings, creative baby shower drinks and ideas for gently reintroducing the body to alcoholic drinks afterward.

This is simply a fun, informative book that is filled with great ideas and even includes ideas for the dad who may want a slightly stiffer drink.
