With age, I have wanted to get more into mock-tails and other types of beverages that do not contain alcohol but still are shiny and eye catching. This book is a great introduction to this world.

Excellent drink combinations by the author, that all taste great [admittedly some are an acquired taste but I'm quite happy to try different things if it will help with nutrition]. The author also sets out the benefits of each and the book has great illustrations designed for the wellness market.

There are a lot of delicious drinks in this book. Lots of photos show seasonal non-alcoholic drinks that you can make with healthy and natural ingredients. Lots of options available for parties, meals, and snacks that you may not be able to find in other recipe books. It's definitely worth looking at, if you'd like to try out some cool new drinnks.

I received a free ebook copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

A very creative drink book. I definitely wouldn’t have thought of some of these combinations and while (most likely) I won’t make many of them it was a cool read.

Natürliche Pflanzen für das Wohlbefinden zu verwenden, hat mich schon immer angesprochen und ist etwas, das ich praktiziere, meistens mit Dingen aus meinem eigenen Garten oder dem, was vor Ort wächst. Obwohl ich das Konzept dieses Buches liebe, war es nichts für mich persönlich. Die Rezepte klingen alle sehr interessant und lecker, aber es gab eine Menge spezielle Produkte, die man für die Zubereitung brauchte. Ich glaube immer noch, dass es ein schönes Buch für alkoholfreie gesunde Getränke ist, aber der Markt ist definitiv sehr spezifisch.

Really good presentation, nice pictures creative drink names and most of all nice and tasty drinks. ;)

Loved to go through all the recipes. I will be using some of these in the summer!!!
The instructions were very clear and easy to follow.
I have a e-reader in color: the pictures of the drinks and ingrediënts were very pretty!
I also enjoyed how the book was split in different seasons with then matching drinks.

Honestly love all the colours each of the drinks have in them. I had been looking for recipes for non-alcoolic drinks. We try not to drink alcohol during the week but we sometimes find ourselves wanting more than water. This is such a good book for that. Loved the Lion's Mane Mule to replace a Moscow Mule during the week. Looking foward to trying more of theses recipes!

This is a great drink recipe book to have on hand with love adaptogens. Similar to what another reviewer said, some of these adaptogens or ingredients are not ones I normally have in my cupboard so it would be a matter of purchasing some from a trusted source. Aside from that, I really love that these are non-alcoholic, so you can feel included if you have others visiting and they want to do real stuff.

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the advanced reader's copy of this publication.

This drink book is going in my cart for myself and for my gift bags! Well Done. Mocktails are now in!

This creative collection of concoctions is meant to provide healthy and nonalcoholic alternatives for all kinds of drinks. These are really meant to make you glow.

tldr: this book is an essential staple for the health food store girlies!!

This is really well done! It starts off with an in-depth A-Z guide about each adaptogen. Followed by an explanation about which kitchen tools you’ll need with specific suggestions for both splurge and budget price ranges. “Health food” can often seem exclusionary and inaccessible, so having this section is really appreciated!

The recipes themselves are broken up by spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Some are super accessible, and some take more energy since you’ll need to go to a health food store. However, these ingredients are repeated throughout the book, so you’ll use them a bunch. For the mocktails, it’s essentially instead of buying the alcohol. So it’s not *actually* that many more ingredients.

Pretty much every recipe has a photo or illustration accompanying it. The photography is truly stunning.

At the end of the book, there’s an index by ingredient as well as one grouped by adaptogen, which is an awesome touch!

I, myself, am not sober *but* I get a lot of migraines. So I don’t drink often and have been looking for some great mocktail options. As well as smoothies to add into my rotation.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my advanced digital copy! When I saw this was listed as “read now” I HAD to snatch it up.

This is one of the prettiest books I’ve read this year. I loved the recipes! They were unique and different to other books I have read lately which I appreciated as I’m always hunting for variety. They were accessible and perfect to add to my list to try!

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A great book for non-alcoholic drinks. It shows great uses of adaptogens and motivates the reader to try fun drinks while at the same time charge your energy and relieve stress. I really like the chapters named after seasons and the drinks are well placed in these chapters. I also love the description (A-to-Z guide to adaptogens) that can be found at the beginning, so you instantly know what fits you the best for yur current mood! The illustrations, the writing and the photographs are amazing and I really suggest this book to everyone, especially to non-alcoholic drinks enthusiasts. My favourite drink out of these is the Elder Goji Berry Punch and the Lion's mane Vietnamese Coffee.

I received this book from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions included here are my own.

These mocktail recipes are fun! Very informative book that gives fun recipes on how to incorporate adaptogens into your diet. Some of these adaptogens I can find easily but others I would need to locate a reputable source online. So unless you have a variety of adaptogens in your pantry you may not be creating these mocktails on the spur of the moment. Also, as much as I love turning to nature to find healing, I also find healing in modern medicine. I wouldn't recommend giving up your doctor for adaptogens just yet. Find the balance. Overall a fun book to help you mix up your cocktail (or mocktail) making skills.

This is a full-color book with great recipes for a variety of natural substances that can help you and your health. Unfortunately, I am unable to have only a few with a kidney transplant. I can say the instructions are clear and the author discusses each adaptogens and why they help you. This would be a good book for some one who is health conscious with out contraindications.

This beautifully illustrated and photographed guide shares 75 recipes for nonalcoholic herbal beverages that boost wellness and energy while reducing stress. Organized by season with recipes for breakfast, lunch, afternoon, evening, and parties, it features wellness drinks that include such healthy ingredients as ginseng, turmeric, goji berries, basil, and more. Enjoy!

The idea of this book is really good. I'm all for a good non-alchoholic cocktail. I also loved the idea of some health benefits. However, these recipes are not approachable. I don't know where to get most of the ingredients and extracts other than online and they are quite pricy which makes most of these drinks an impossibility.

Love the idea, but making this more accessable to the average person would be better.

As someone who is trying to limit alcohol, I was very excited to see this book of non-alcoholic cocktails.

The photos are gorgeous and the layout is fantastic.

The list of adaptogens and what functions in the body they benefit is so helpful. Then the index providing the recipes listed by adaptogen for easy reference.

I wish I could have tested some of the recipes, but don’t have access to these unique ingredients.

I think if you are someone who is experimenting with tinctures, herbs, mushrooms, and other adaptogens, this could be a fantastic resource.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an unbiased review.
