Maybe you're already preggers, or breastfeeding, or you're like me TTC and starting to "wean" yourself off of the alcoholic drinks. To be honest I'm not much of a drinker anyway... one cocktail and I am done (always a cheap date for the hubby). I do love a nice glass of wine on the weekends but even that I am starting to set aside for water and iced tea. Not wanting to take chances in case I am pregnant and wanting to "wean" myself off of the weekend wine in the mean time.

Now if you're a mama that's craving that fab taste of a freshly made summertime cocktail... I found an article from Yahoo's Shine today that you're gonna wanna read... "Five Great Ideas for Making... Mocktails?" There are five links at the bottom of the article to five recipes for mocktails; Lemon Verbena Soda, Placebo, Lavender Lemonade, Citrus Cream, Lime Rickey.

If it won't shock the guests at your summer BBQ give it a shot! (Figuratively not literally of course). If you decide to try one of the five mocktails, or you've got a recipe of your own... let me know all about it. Write in the comments or email me at thebabymamablog@gmail.com. I'll put your recipe or your reaction in an upcoming post.
