The Preggie Provençe is one of the fascinating mocktails from Natalie Bovis-Nelsen's 2008 book, Preggatinis™ (published by The Globe Pequot Press) and I love it because it combines two of my favorite herbs, lavender and rosemary. When that flavor combination is enhance with lemonade, the resulting drink is next to divine. This lovely sipper is ideal for a garden brunch, a baby shower or anytime you want a non-alcoholic beverage to delight the taste buds.
