Book Review: The Happiest Hour by Debbie Podlogar

Rating: 5 Stars

Hey there, fellow moms and mocktail enthusiasts! I just finished flipping through The Happiest Hour: Delicious Mocktails for a Fabulous Moms’ Night In by the amazing Debbie Podlogar (a.k.a. Mocktail Mom®), and it's an absolute gem! 🎉🍹

Now, if you’re like me and have found yourself on the sober side of life (thanks to medication), this book is a total lifesaver. It's all about embracing motherhood and having a blast without the booze. Seriously, who says you can’t have fun at a party just because you’re not drinking? Debbie's here to prove that with over 50 delightful mocktails that will make your taste buds dance! 💃🥳

The book covers everything from spicy momma drinks to refreshing summer sips, and it’s beautifully laid out with stunning photography that makes you want to grab your shakers and start muddling right away. I mean, how cute is it to have a Mocktail Queen or a Cranberry Dream in hand while hanging out with friends? Plus, Debbie gives you the lowdown on setting up your home bar like a pro, so you’ll always be ready for a fab night in. 📸🍸

What I really loved about this book is how Debbie shares her own journey to alcohol-free living—it feels personal and relatable. She provides clever substitutions for those of us who want something tasty without the hangover regrets. And let's not forget about the presentation tips! With easy-to-reference sections and a fabulous garnish glossary, you’ll be impressing your guests in no time. ✨🍽️

If you enjoy entertaining—or even if you just want to treat yourself on a quiet Saturday night—this book is a must-have. I can totally see it being the perfect gift for a friend who loves to host but might be looking for healthier options. Plus, it’s just downright fun to flip through! 🎁📖

So, whether you're a seasoned mocktail maker or completely new to the scene, grab a copy of The Happiest Hour and let’s raise a glass (of something deliciously non-alcoholic) to fabulous nights in! Cheers! 🥂✨
