jlmartinez517

Cheers ladies! Pretty soon we can all imbibe again and celebrate all of the hardwork we did to bring beautiful babies into the world.

Post what you're looking forward to sippin' on once baby arrives, and include the recipe if you'd like! 

jlmartinez517

Mmmmm mojitos!

maddmama

I'm really just looking forward to an ice cold Yuengling light. My favorite. 

whataboutscience

I'll be the weird one because I don't drink and haven't let myself have any caffeine. I will be drinking a Diet Coke.

bunkie999

Ceasers, strongbow, mojioto! A ice cold beer! Yummm 

jenkeale

Right now, I'm thinking a Bloody Mary to go with my giant plate of oysters. But I'm sure I'll get lots of ideas over the next few months. 

LDSJM123

Champagne!

Summer Shandy!

cy&damonsmommy

Lurking from June... honestly been dying for a strawberry mango margarita. Or a Vegas bomb, or 6, lol

agradi

@KJ1416 so much this! I LOVE summer shandy! I miss the lemon berry shandy like crazy though.  Mine will either be a shandy or mimosa. Or a dry dock apricot... Or a margarita. 

PhoebeJune1984

Spicy bloody mary.......or pretty much anything with alcohol in it. I am not a big drinker, but when I can't have it, I want it even more. Give me all the booze. 

austinjl

I second the summer shandy.  Or a strawberry margarita.  The virgin one I had last week sucked.....

Nerdchild

Kraken w/ ginger ale or gin and tonic. 

blissylissy86

All of everything.

And f all of you who brought up bloody Mary's. I seriously was hardcore craving one for a month straight. I had forgotten all about them and now I am drooling. 

TiffRox81

Red wine!! I've never been much of s beer drinker and hard alcohol is rare for me....but wine and I have a great relationship I'm ready to revisit!!

Kellyj103

I want a margarita, no two margaritas- one on the rocks with salt and another slushy kind of margarita, like the kind you get during happy hour. Yummmmm!!!

holly142

I fell in love with this sangria recipe last year while camping. I also love wine. If it is a hot day, I will probably have a glass of New Age. I tend to drink more white wine when it is hot outside and red wine the rest of the year. 

rakel88

Cabernet! Oh my godddddd I miss it!

benten24

I want anything with alcohol in it. Not being picky over here, just give me all the alcohol!

PleaseSendPicklesNow

Now I'm craving a big, salty margarita.

Katekay3

Grapefruit shandy! I also told my family that if they want to meet baby in the hospital the fee to get in is a bottle of champagne. And red wine. Really any thing with alcohol!

DominiqueU

I'm not a big drinker at all, but I'm all about a mimosa. 

I have been avoiding caffeine and I have wanted a giant coffee coolatta from Dunkin Donuts for months. 

jlmartinez517

I'm a huge wino, and usually drink white or rosé in the summer and reds during fall and winter.

My favorite white wine is basically any Sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. The grassier and herbier the better! My top brand picks are Spy Valley, Matua, and Ranga Ranga. A dry rosé is my jam.

In regards to reds, I love most Cabernet Sauvignons, Chilean malbecs and Oregon Pinot noirs.

My husband works for a local brewery, and the craft beer scene has really blown up here in Pittsburgh over the last couple of years, so I also enjoy spending weekends visiting the local establishments and downing some cold IPAs!

elenabrent

My husband home brews and has been instructed to make my two favorite beers with the gluten removing enzyme to make them celiac safe- a To Hell or High Watermelon clone and also a local brewery IPA Tropical Lightening. They're both perfect summer beers. See also a big salty margarita. And a glass of rose. And tequila and lime seltzer. 

Schmooie730

A first peach ale, a hard cider, Not Your Fathers Root Beer, a glass of moscato, or a mimosa. All things I've been wanting lately lol

Weville

Woodchuck Cider and a mohito. Or five. 

Wow that's a huge pic. Stupid mobile 

twinpeaksmama

I've never been a huge drinker, but one of my favorite beers is Dogfish Head Festina Peche. I look forward to being able to have one in a few months.

adough27

Dogfish Head or DC Brau (I love beer, especially in the summer) and bloody marys!

abpl2014

I want all of the things you ladies have said, they all sound delicious! I want a red beer with pickles and olives in it (beer with tomato juice). 

ButterMyBiscuit

Margarita, angry orchard hard cider, moscato, mimosa, sangria, raz-ber-rita, etc., etc., etc.

Lynna813

STRONGBOW has become my favorite after trying it last year at The Rose and Crown at Epcot or Labatt's Blue Light if I want a beer. Its my beer of choice if I can find it its more popular up north if not Miller Light.

Epcot Food and Wine festival starts in September but who's counting

Thank you for sharing! Will definitely be trying this out!

givemepenguinss

The hoppiest, most local-est IPA I can get my hands on. Or five.

One of my favorite breweries is less than 5 minutes away, and they have open tastings every weekend. They encourage you to bring your kids and dogs. I can't wait to go back.

joleri23

My very first drink will likely be champagne, but after that I'm going for hard cider - the tart stuff!

Lynna813

blissylissy86  I ordered a Virgin Bloody Mary a few weeks ago. Top Golf in Tampa has a Bloody Mary bar and I fixed it up like I normally would...just no alcohol obviously. Still tasted good....but I think I was really just craving spicy tomato juice with a ton of olives and I mean a TON 

HoneyBear40

haven't had a craving at all but now after reading some of these the ideas just keep coming!
Angry Orchard (any flavor), Not Your Father's Root Beer, and a cold Bud Light are all sounding pretty good.
I work for a company that owns c-stores and one of our specials this month is Best Damn Cherry Cola - never had it but right now that sounds good too!

jlmartinez517

Breweries that allow dogs and kids are just the best @givemepenguinss

Normally a red wine drinker, but since it will be the dead of summer in Florida, I am thinking a nice super-chilled Pinot Grigio will taste just heavenly. Was watching Real Housewives the other day (don't judge) and realized I miss the act of drinking wine more than the buzz or the taste itself. Just that indulgent, I'm a grown lady feeling that a wine glass gives me. Ahhh wine...

CorkySinclair

I am concerned. I love me some booze and all first trimester, I wanted a delicious beer but the last few times I've sipped on someone's beer or wine, it has tasted super off to me. Things I love now taste like medicine. If this baby stole my ability to appreciate the deliciousness that is a good drink, I'm going to be so peeved. I'm blaming the hormones.  

rnyland1

I'm definitely into beer or wine mostly, with the occasional bloody mary or margarita. Although I really don't drink much at all even when I'm not pregnant. I assume we'll have to pop a bottle champagne to celebrate once the baby gets here.  My DH has been drinking more than usual lately, so I definitely don't want to be an enabler. Worries me a bit because alcohol can really be a slippery slope. . . especially with the stress of parenting thrown into the mix. Be careful out there everyone!

samantha1206

non alcoholic - I sure as hell miss my Monsters 
Alcoholic-   Vodka drinks, or wine.  I'm not a huge wine person but there is one kind I like... can't remember the name of it for the life of me tho.  As soon as possible post baby tho, I am having me a HUGE rare steak and some wine. 

Cosmic+Love

All the caffeine! And a 7&7.
