Dozens of Non-Alcoholic Drinks--YUM!
"I'll never forget that wonderful moment when the concept of the Margarita Mama was born. I was newly pregnant. (Translation: No alcohol allowed!) It was a hot summer day. I was visiting my in-laws at their beach house, and all my summer-trained insticts called out for a real margarita. Everyone else was indulging in a chilly, sprightly, refreshing cocktail. Sure, none of *them* were pregnant--but what about meeeeee?" -- From the book

Although this delightful book has expectant Moms (or newbie Moms) in mind, rest assured that Margarita Mama is a GREAT book for ANYONE who enjoys refreshing drinks. In this case, non-alcoholic ones!

This colorful 95-page hardcover book features insight, advice and tons of delicious recipes (I know because I tried some!). Here are but a few of the tasty "mocktails" included in this fun book:

*Mudlide
*Watermelon Margarita
*Pregnant Peach
*Strawberry Banana Smoothie
*Perfect Pear of Jeans
*Basil Pomegranate Lemonade
*Momsicle
*Sparkling Cosmopolitan
*Mimosa
*Chocolate Crave
*Raspberry Champagne
*Mai Tai
*Sangria
*Materni-tea
*Swollen Feet Fizz
*White Russian

Do those sound scrumptious or WHAT?!

My personal favorite? A drink I've made for years and still love: the Sparkling Cape Codder.

If you're looking for a nice gift book for a Mom-to-be (especially if she lives in a warm climate or somewhere where the summers are HOT), Margarita Mama would make a lovely surprise!

And, like I said, this book does NOT have to be gifted to--or enjoyed by--mommies or mommies-to-be! Anyone who loves delicious, easy-to-make virgin drinks will no doubt find Magarita Mama a welcome addition to their recipe repertoire. (Yikes! Say those last two words real fast! *chuckle*)

Enjoy!

A big hit!
Bought this for two pregnant ladies and they both LOVED it! All of the mocktails have really cute names too!

Not all that
I bought this book to give to a friend's at her baby shower. I wanted to give a unique gift. I was a tad disappointed. I found the content of the book only so-so and not exactly 'filled to the brim' as stated. Also, I didn't realize how tiny the book was even though it does clearly state the dimensions. Think of it as a stocking stuffer or an item to add to a gift basket. Cute book cover...very festive looking!
