A drink without booze? Before you shout out what the FUCK, allow me to explain. My pregnant friend asked me to make her a mocktail. Now not everyone chooses to abstain from all alcohol during pregnancy. I can certainly respect the choice. My friend is also having blood sugar issues, so this drink is low carb. I will include some options for boozing it up for those who wish to.

Emma Sulkowicz

I am sure most of you remember Emma, the Columbia University student who chose to carry her mattress around everywhere until her rapist was expelled. Her actions sparked a nationwide protest and brought attention to the urgent issue of rape on college campuses.

Two large strawberries. .
Stevia to taste
2 drops orange essential oil (EO)--or 1 oz orange liqueur
Carbonated water-- or Prosecco.

Muddle the strawberries with the stevia and EO, pour carbonated water on top. I chilled the muddled strawberries, glass and carbonated water before serving and this greatly improved the taste.
