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.

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.

The Happiest Hour provides a good quantity of mocktail recipes with easy to follow recipes and beautiful photographs. With so many types and flavors, there is likely something for everyone in this book. This would be a great gift for a mama-to-be or someone taking a break from alcohol. I imagine it would also be easy to swap these recipes over to alcoholic drink versions.

Thanks to Quarto Publishing Group - Rock Point and NetGalley for an eARC of this book.

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!
