 Not all that December 3, 2008
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!
 Great Shower Gift! November 30, 2008
I gave this book to my best friend, pregnant with her first child and longing for a salty Texas margarita. She has been aching for fun, fruity drinks that are "mom-friendly" and this gave her lots of options. Plus, in the sea of shower gifts, she knew immediately it was from me!
 yummy! November 20, 2008
This is full of great recipes to make you feel a little more human. The only issue I had with it was some have a million different ingredients at 1 oz each...who needs 6 bottle of juice/soda laying around for a few mocktails that only require about a shot of each? Which wouldn't be a problem if they didn't look so darn good!
too much work! November 9, 2008
i was so excited to have some great non-alcoholic drink ideas to enjoy while pregnant (and all my friends are still drinking cosmos and red wine!)...unfortunately, found that most of the drinks required a special shopping trip for ingredient...must easier to stick with seltzer and lime or 7-up and cranberry. oh well, only a few more months to go before I can have the cosmo again!
Surviving Nine Months Sans Wine August 15, 2008
I admit it, one of the first things I said to my good friend Meghan when she told me she was going to have a baby (after CONGRATULATIONS, of course) was something along the lines of, "Oh my God! You can't have a glass of wine with dinner for 9 months!" Obviously my biological clock has not begun any kind of count down yet if what I'm worried about is wine, and not 2 AM feedings, onesies, or college funds so for now I'm quite content to be honorary auntie Erin. But for those of you who are expecting and find yourself feeling a little twinge of longing for a dirty martini from time-to-time than you definitely should add Margarita Mama: Mocktails for Moms-To-Be to your baby shower registry.
Alyssa Gusenoff has compiled a funky cookbook full of non-alcoholic versions of your favorite party time cocktails including sangria, mojitos, and watermelon margaritas. There are even new mocktails with oh-so-cute names like the "Momsicle" (a mixture of pineapple, pear, blueberry, and lime juices served chilled over a glass of sparkling water), "The Perfect Pear of Jeans" (a frothy concoction of blended pear, lemon-lime soda, and lime juice), and the "Nursery Nightcap" (a warm cup of decaffeinated herbal tea with a shot of vanilla syrup).
In addition to all of the great drinks, Margarita Mama is also sprinkled with helpful hints and pregnancy factoids. For instance did you know that basil may help with morning sickness? Me either?! So whip up a Caprese Salad for your girlfriend, rent Baby Boom, and don't forget to make a mental note to add this title to your "to be gifted" lists. The upcoming mommies in your life will definitely thank you for your thoughtfulness.
