Monday Night Mocktails offers inspired, easy-to-put-together non-alcoholic drinks that are as appealing as cocktails. The 52 creative infusions are crafted with seasonal ingredients and use widely available non-alcoholic wines and spirits.
The recipes include fresh takes on old stand-bys (such as a Virgin Margarita, Fauxjito, or a Nearly Negroni) as well as original creations (like a Turmeric Meyer Lemon Drop, a Peach-Rosemary Spritz, or a Star Anise Mango Mocktail). Welcome every season with the perfect drink—without the bar, booze, and crowds.
Jennifer Newens is a cookbook editor, cooking teacher, and literary agent from Oakland, California. She received her culinary training from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. She believes that everyone deserves to have a special drink in a fancy glass with a pretty garnish at the end of a long day — whether or not they choose to put booze in it!
