This book has some great recipes! I got it for my pregnant friends;) I made some of the recipes with alcohol as well, and they were great too! I will definitely be pulling this recipe book out often! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

As someone who doesn’t drink alcohol this book was absolutely perfect for me. I loved all the different cocktail recipes. These make you feel included even if you aren’t drinking alcohol.
Katie K, Reviewer
This book had me sat from the cover, but alllll the details are just stunning. While I’m not a mom, I do appreciate that being a cat mom also counts 😉
The typography, photography, colors, styling — everything!
Here are some of the mocktails I cannot wait to try:
🍋🟩 Midwest Fizz: Ranch Water
🍸 Flavor Fiesta: Blackberry Jam Gin
🫐 Berry Basil Bliss: Blueberry Basil (the color on this one!!)
🍎 Arctic Orchard Bliss: Frozen Apple Mocktail
🍷 My Lips Taste like Sangria: Red Wine Sangria
Also everything with NA whiskey - yes!
Highly recommend making space for this book on your shelf and exploring these mocktail creations.

Sometimes you want to enjoy a cocktail but don't necessarily want to indulge in alcohol. The Happiest Hour is THE perfect book for such times - classic recipes with everything except the liquor! The beautiful photos encourage you to dive in and I'm looking forward to trying each of these mocktails!
