My husband, Ricardo, is great at making cocktails. My cousins are pretty spoiled now, so when they come over, they ask for drinks that make you think they were ordering at a bar.
I have to remind them sometimes that they are getting a little spoiled and they can’t always expect it but Ricardo enjoys making fancy cocktails so he always obliges. Being pregnant, now I am the one requesting a specialty drink…a mocktail. He has come up with a few recipes that hit the spot for me. I like refreshing drinks that aren’t too sweet and do have a little fizz. These were great while we were spending time in the patio this summer.

The first mocktail is a mix of seltzer, lemonade and fresh fruit. This one fulfills that need for a fizz that I am craving and it tastes great. I enjoy this out on our patio while he is grilling and Chloé plays with her water table. Its also a pretty drink!
The second mocktail I am enjoying has club soda, ginger beer, lime juice and mint leaves. The ginger beer gives it that kick that you need. I do like a Dark and Stormy once in a while but until I can have rum again, this will do just fine.
Are there any mocktail recipes you enjoy during pregnancy?
Thank you for reading,
Andrea
