Full Description
Mocktails for every feast day!
Finally, a pious bartender's guide that won't give you a hangover. Mike Foley is the author who brought you Drinking with the Saints and Dinning with the Saints. Now, in Abstaining with the Saints, he offers roughly 200 delicious mocktail recipes as well as alcohol-free beer, wine, and liquor suggestions for the feast days of the Church year. Like its predecessors, it is written to encourage merriment, fellowship, and gratitude to God for the blessings of friends, family, and the fruits of the earth, except now, you can invite the kids to your evening happy hour—if you want, that is (grin). Learn fascinating facts about the saints as you explore the delicious world of alcohol-free mixed drinks.
Celebrate Saint Antony the Abbot with The Desert Au Pair—toast this great monk of the desert with a delightful mix of pear juice, lemon juice, and sparkling water.
Raise a glass to Sebastian of Aparicio with a Roy Rogers—what better way to celebrate the world's first cowboy?
Remember Saint Basil the Great with a Peach Basil Cooler—this refreshing mixture of GABA Gold, peach puree, lime juice, and elderflower tonic is muddled with—you guessed it—fresh basil leaves.
Honor Saint Elizabeth of Portugal with a Cherry Lime Gin Rickey—if you don't know about this virtuous saint's lime-burning incident, flip to July 8 to read all about it.
You'll also find a practical program for going "soberish," that is, rebooting one's appetites to regain control of one's life and one's relationship to the Drink without necessarily going dry for life. For as with so many of God's creatures, alcohol may be a great handmaid, but she is a cruel mistress.
Whether you are breaking up with alcohol or just taking a break, this is the book for you and the entire family.
