Welcome, my fellow libation lovers, to a world where the clink of ice doesn't lead to a

morning of regrets and where "What's your poison?" gets a reply that's as wholesome

as it is delicious. If you've ever found yourself dodging the corporate "happy hour" like

it's a Zoom call with technical difficulties or gazing longingly at a cocktail menu (only to

remember your body now treats alcohol like an unwelcome party guest), then my

friend, you've just opened the right book.

This collection of 50 mocktail recipes was born from a cocktail of circumstances—a

splash of perimenopause, a dash of health conditions, and a generous pour of

pressure to "have a drink!" at various events. Who knew that the solution to navigating

these turbulent waters would be in a shaker filled with anything but alcohol?

Enter the mocktail—the hero we all deserved but never knew we needed. These aren't

just drinks; they're a rebellion against the mundane, a testament that you can have the

complexity, depth, and fun of a cocktail, all without the booze! From the zesty tang of a

Spring Lavender Lemonade to the cozy embrace of a Winter Berry Spritz, each recipe

in this book is crafted to be as easy on your time as it is on your liver. Here's the twist.

These mocktails are not just a delight to your taste buds; but also a toast to your

health. Packed with natural ingredients and free from the sly seduction of alcohol, they

offer hydration, vitamins, and antioxidants.
