November 2013 Moms

I really want a glass of wine! Please Share Mocktail Recipes! :)

So, I'm now 6mo pregnant, I've made it through a hot summer where everyone around me enjoyed my favorite corona with lime.  Whenever we have dinner parties, I can smell the pinot with my super-sniffer and going to family/friends get togethers, I just sit with my water.  I've been trying to get a bit more creative with my cocktails but could use a little help. 

My two favorite so far: Mockin' Mimosa - 1 part Seltzer water, 1 part OJ with lemon, orange and lime slices. Sippin' Sangria - 1 part Sprite, 1 part Pinnapple Juice, 1 part Cranberry Pomegranate Juice. 

If any of you other lovely moms have yummy ideas to try, please share! :)  Hope you're all enjoying your little people growing and moving inside of you.  This is truly an amazing experience (if we just forget all of the not-so-fun things that go along with it.)

Thanks!

  • Ooh yours sound good!

    I do 2 parts lemonade, 1 part club soda with lemon and/or lime wedges. I pretend it contains vodka.

  • My mockerita:

    Lime margarita mix with near beer and lime garnish. Only lime works for me, the near beer doesn't do well with the other flavors.

  • I still have some orbit mint mojito gum which I believe has been discontinued. It tastes just like the real thing.

  • Thanks for all of the ideas ladies!  If I come up with any others I'll share those as well! Keep them coming! :)

All the things, especially the fancy cheese, that I have with white zin in the summer. I was eyeballing the unopened bottle in the fridge reallllllll hard!! @-)

    I put frozen fruit in sprite with a splash of cranberry juice, serve it up in the biggest wine glasses I have!

  • V8 splash and sparkling grape juice. Not for GDmoms because its super hight in sugar but very tasty if you need a cocktail wo the alcohol. You can use sprite but its not the same.

    I also like sparkling grape juice and white grape / peach juice for a refreshing beverage.

    I had this one and I wasn't fond of it... I liked the alcohol removed Merlot by Fre.
