Mocktails Made Easy: How To Craft Healthy & Delicious Non-Alcoholic Drinks For Every Occasion 108+ Simple Recipes Using Everyday Ingredients

Far from 'made easy', this is a fascinating and in depth explanation of the art of mocktail making.Not only is it filled with the most wonderful sounding drink recipes, crafted with both the seasons and the occasions in mind, but also the knowledge to experiment for yourself and create your own delicious inventions.

This is a lovely book with great recipes. I like the fact a lot of them use natural ingredients and it steps away from just trying to replicate normal cocktails but without the alcohol.I am looking forward to trying many of these recipes.

As a non-drinker this book is perfect to help re-create Mocktails using fairly standrad ingredients.Sometimes I get bored of the usual No/Low Alcohol Beers/Ciders so these are nice to try.

This is a great book with quick and easy mock tails, I must for any bar or home. The ginger and pear fix is excellent my favorite is the lemon and mint spritzer. Highly recommend

Really enjoyed this book and am delighted to have lots of interesting alcohol free drinks to explore. Just what I needed.

I have been alcohol free for more than three years now, just a lifestyle choice that suited me at the time and still suits me. However, I do love feeling part of the Friday night work sign-off, or the party celebration, with a drink in my hand, and a coke often just doesn’t cut it!This book is ideal if you’re looking for ideas. It is a gorgeous book, with lots of delicious and simple ideas. It’s a must for any host, as we do need to cater now for people who are AF, pregnant, TTC, taking medication incompatible with alcohol use etc etc. I highly recommend!

An impressive quantity and variety of cocktails for every occasion. Fruity, refreshing, comforting, fun, healthy, mouth watering recipes for any season. I can't wait to host my friends and family and serving the delicious beverages that Eric Santagada has put together in his book Mocktails Made Easy. Lovely black and white illustrations too!

This is perfect if you are TTC or preparing to get pregnant or pregnant. Unique mocktails and even a detoxifying one… lolAs I have been going through fertility treatments for some years, mocktails are a great way to feel included when everyone is drinking alcohol. Plus, they are tastier.That said, I wished it had more visuals when explaining the basics and what you need, as this is a recipe book. Reading the explanations is not as clear as seeing images, but I guess I am more of a visual learner.
