While serving a bit of bubbly or wine at a baby shower is totally acceptable, isn't it nice to have some amazingly delicious nonalcoholic cocktails on hand, too? We think so! You can do a themed drink that matches the color and style of the baby shower, or maybe whip up a nonalcoholic take on the mom-to-be’s favorite drink…or simply try something totally new and festive that’ll have everyone cheering! Here, ideas to inspire:
