THAT'S THE SPIRIT
ATTENTION MOMS-TO-BE: CELEBRATE THE SEASON WITH DELICIOUS LIQUORLESS
LIBATIONS

With so much to celebrate during the holiday season, everyone wants to clink glasses with friends and
family. However, if you happen to be pregnant, you may worry about what kinds of nonalcoholic options
you will have. After all, there is only so much sparkling cider a gal can handle, and the same old virgin
colada is so last decade.
Boring options and unappetizing mocktails are a thing of the past once you try a Preggatini! In
Preggatinis™: Mixology for the Mom-to-Be, I offer dozens of alcohol-free cocktail recipes for all occasions
while employing the philosophies of high-end mixology, such as using freshly squeezed juices and avoiding prepackaged mixers.
The nonalcoholic cocktails in the holiday section of
Preggatinis cover just about every major event throughout the year. One of my personal favorites happens to be the Pumpkin Pie Preggatini—perfect for those warm and toasty November and December get-togethers. It may just be decadent enough to remain in your recipe catalog long after the baby has arrived.
Pumpkin Pie Preggatini
1 heaping tablespoon canned pumpkin
1 1/2 ounces sweetened condensed milk
2 ounces milk
1 ounce Fees Brothers Spiced Cordial Syrup
2 graham crackers
Graham cracker crumb rim and whipped cream
Grind graham crackers into fine crumbs in a food processor. Pour onto a small plate. On a separate plate, pour a small amount of spiced cordial syrup. Dip the rim of the martini glass into the syrup, then into the graham cracker crumbs, and set aside. Vigorously shake milk, sweetened condensed milk, remaining spiced cordial syrup and pumpkin into mixing glass, with ice. Slowly strain into rimmed martini glass. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
De-Virginize for Dads: Reduce milk to 1 ounce and add 1 ounce of brandy.
