During the long seasons of pregnancy and breastfeeding, I found myself on a quiet quest for a proper non-alcoholic drink. Let’s be honest: most so-called alcohol-free wines don’t even deserve the shelf space. So one cosy February evening, I decided to improvise.
A splash of rosé tonic, a pot of rosemary, frozen strawberries from the freezer, and a wedge of lemon. The combination sounded questionable at best — but turned out to be a total game changer. Crisp, floral, and gently bitter. In short: grown-up.
That night’s experiment has since become a warm-weather staple at our house — a drink I’ve made for countless brunches, barbecues, and baby showers. And just between us: if you’re not pregnant and feeling playful, a touch of gin fits in beautifully..
