I’m not much of a drinker, but it’s so true that you want something when you can’t have it. Lately, every time I see someone enjoying a cocktail on IG Stories, I get jealous! Lucky for me, Kirby got me this great Mocktails book for Christmas, so I’ll be set for the next five and a half months.
If you’re craving a tasty mocktail, I’m sharing four of my favourites from the book!
