Fifty-plus mocktail recipes that actually sound like something you'd want to drink - not a shirley temple, not a sad sparkling water. Debbie Podlogar (you may know her as Mocktail Mom) wrote this book for every kind of mom: moms of humans, moms of pets, bonus points if you're over 50. The premise is simple: you can be at the party without the alcohol.
About Mocktail Mom
Debbie Podlogar built a following of thousands in the sober and mindful-drinking community as Mocktail Mom - a voice that makes alcohol-free living feel fun rather than restrictive. The Happiest Hour is her first book, and it's as much a celebration of not drinking as it is a recipe collection.
What's inside
50+ beautifully photographed mocktail recipes organized into chapters including:
- Not Past Our Prime
- Spicy Momma Mocktails
- Hot Flash Mommas Need Frozen Drinks
- Mules-for-Days
- Holidays without Hangovers
Recipes include: Mocktail Queen, Don't Be So Old Fashioned, Seasons of Life, Mind of Her Own, Climb the Mountain, Drinks Well with Friends, Summertime Refresh, and more.
Good to know
Recipes are designed for home bartenders - no professional equipment required. The photography is gorgeous enough to leave on a coffee table. An ideal gift for a mom who's curious about drinking less, or for anyone who wants a recipe book that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Swizzle's Take: The chapter titles alone make this worth carrying - Hot Flash Mommas Need Frozen Drinks is exactly the kind of energy we're here for.
