My opinion as a health professional
As a health professional, I couldn’t ask for a better book to recommend to people! People tend to drink too much alcohol & giving them healthier alternatives is brilliant. I noticed someone left a review that contained a lot of incorrect statements about health & nutrition that I would like to address.Anyone can make a “health claim” but these dietitians have licenses to uphold, and as a health professional, you have to be very careful about the health statements you make. They did a great job with this. And the reality is most Americans don’t get enough potassium, so the fact that these recipes include potassium in the form of coconut water is excellent!I love that they didn’t list out the calories in their recipes. Diet culture is so rampant these days and having calories can be so triggering for some people and sends a diet culture message that this book is clearly not about. Plus, I can see a lot of young girls buying this book so, great job authors!As for the Pickled Mary, YUM! Who doesn’t love a good Bloody Mary? Yes, pickle juice is high in sodium, but I took a look at the recipe and it includes 1/2 cup per 4-6 servings, which is just a couple of tbsp per serving so seriously not bad at all! Plus, health is all about balance. It’s not like you’re going to be downing 5 Pickled Mary’s every day.And lastly, let’s talk sugar. Only a few recipes call for agave and the amounts are so little! I applaud these authors for using other ways to favor their drinks without relying on tons of sugar. Definitely not an easy feat to accomplish. And the toppings and garnishes make these recipes so unique and fun. Again, it all goes back to balance, which I absolutely love about this book.

Gorgeous mocktail recipe book!
This is the second book I’ve purchased by these authors. The book is beautiful and so well done. Packed with recipes made with no alcohol and beautiful photos. I can’t wait to try the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Perfect for gifts! Highly recommend.

Wonderful selection of mocktail recipes!
First of all, I love these authors. I have their first book, Drinking for Two, which is filled with amazing recipes. I have been eagerly waiting for the release of their second book, Mocktail Party! I just received this book this morning, and I AM BLOWN AWAY! This book has SO many recipes to choose from, all containing healthy ingredients. I decided to try out the "Aperol-less Spritz" recipe today because I have been feeling very left out of Aperol season since I do not drink alcohol.This drink tasted so so good, and the instructions were super easy to follow. I think I have found my new favorite mocktail! I plan on making the frozen mock-a-rita for my whole family on memorial day weekend. Definitely purchasing this book as gifts in the future!

Exactly what I was looking for!
Just what I needed! I have been cutting back on alcohol this year and have been exploring non-alcoholic options when I am looking to enjoy myself. I absolutely love that this book was done through the lens of registered dieticians and avoided high-in-sugar juices and sweeteners. Aside from the mocktails being alcohol-free, I feel guilt-free when it comes to the ingredients in each drink which is a win-win! I will be buying this book for some of my girlfriends who have also decided to cut back on drinking! This book was both creative and thoughtfully done and will be used time and time again - so so happy with this purchase!
