What I'm really craving on Turkey Day....

Is a cocktail. I've never been a drinker, but for the past few days, I've been dreaming of a nice, cold, fruity cocktail. People tell me to go ahead and have a glass of red wine, but I'm not a fan of wine at all. I want a stinkin' sex on the beach in a tall glass! Not to get drunk by any means,  just to taste and enjoy, ya know what I mean?

Don't worry, I won't.  But you bet your ass I will as soon as I get a milk supply stocked up after baby is here!

Anyone else craving a cocktail?

I'm no help because I say have the cocktail  It doesn't need to be a huge fishbowl one, but at this point I don't think a half a cocktail is going to hurt anything.

With all the food you'll be eating (I'm just assuming) I think a little mini-drink would be ok :)  

I'm having a glass of red...can't wait.

I had a sip of my hubby's margarita this weekend and it didn't live up to my expectations! :(

I feel ya...I can't wait for a Captain & Diet.

My last pregnancy, I tried a few sips of wine and immediately got the worst heartburn. So for me, there's no point in any sips...I'll just wait til I can have the whole glass in Feb.

Craving a cocktail here! I know just one wouldn't hurt... and I'm not exactly a lush... but really, what's the point of ONE? I guess "craving cocktails" is more appropriate for me ;)

Also, don't worry, I'm holding off. :P

I went out one night with DH and BFF (who used to be our housemate) to this bar with a speakeasy theme. I got this mocktail that was lime and ginger and it HIT THE SPOT.

Try a mocktail, it might work for you. juices and sparkling mineral water in some combo make the best mocktails in my opinion (I'm a bartender) but everone is different and some people just like colas or juices in some combo.

Also, try a punch. Gingerale, pineapple juice and lime sherbet is my favorite.

If I put Apollinaris sparkling mineral water with O.J. and a twist of lime it almost tastes like a screwdriver.

Also, there is a brand of cola called Dry Soda and the juniper flavor helped curb my craving for gin when I had it.

Dry Soda is awesome for liquor carvings, gingerale is good for beer cravings and wine...well, there is nothing quite like it so  I guess that's why I miss it so much.

I am so with you.  Christmas is going to be even worse for me; we'll be with the family that all enjoy a good cocktail!  Sigh.
