Non-Alcoholic Cocktails

I'm in the middle of planning a January wedding which will serve no alcohol. I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with delicious and beautiful drinks for this couple to serve. Thank you Hostess with the Mostess for solving my problem! They are contributing the Simply Stated this month with this feature on non-alcoholic drinks for pregnant women, baby showers, and much more...

All of these drinks and MANY more are featured in the book Preggatinis by Natalie Bovis-Nelsen.
Even if you are serving alcohol, a beautiful non-alcoholic cocktail is a great addition. Non-drinkers and children will LOVE it!
