Everyone’s party deserves a sweet and sparkly toast. But when the guest of honor can’t partake in the champagne cheers, it makes the moment a little less fun. If one of the things that you’re missing most during your pregnancy or just after giving birth, is kicking back with an icy cold cocktail at the end of a long day, you’re in luck.

We’ve got 3 delicious, nonalcoholic drink recipes for mums-to-be, or anyone looking to cut back on their liquor intake.

 

 

The first important element to a good mocktail is something fizzy.  This will make your drink fancier than just a glass of juice.  Recipes with tonic water, ginger ale, sparkling water, or sprite make great mocktails. Think of it as a fancy soda!

 

From sweet to savoury, these tasty drinks will have the new mama forgetting about alcohol!
