5.0 out of 5 stars Preggatinis is one book you'll really use!, January 9, 2009

By	J. Schulman "PreggieMouse" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars These non-alcoholic drinks are sure to delight the palate of all tasters, January 9, 2009

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars great cocktail book.. even if you are not pregnant!, January 7, 2009

By	amy - See all my reviews

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.
