Inspiration

Our family made a trip to Disney World during the Christmas holidays. While there my husband and I had the pleasure of eating at an amazing Italian restaurant. The pizza was incredible. So good, in fact, I have yet to find an equal. The only bad thing I can say is that when I asked the waiter for a non-alcoholic version of a drink on their menu he looked at me like I was trying to pull a prank on him. He was so puzzled by my request that he wasn't sure what to do. Really? With a restaurant of this caliber had he never received a request like this before?

This started my quest. Instead of asking the servers to come up with something I knew I needed to have an arsenal of options at my disposal. I've spent several months researching drinks, website, bartenders guides, etc. to find options that are refreshing and memorable, yet free of alcohol for anyone who needs (or wants) to keep that out of their body.

As far as munchies are concerned, I love food. Who doesn't? However, in my case I'm picky about the quality of the ingredients and how my food is prepared. Part of my preference stems from food sensitivities and the other comes from plan old palatability. I have become a little snobby about preservatives and I prefer food made from the freshest ingredients. More on that later...

So I dedicate this blog to anyone who shares a love for good quality food and has a taste for drinks from the bar that are alcohol free. Welcome!
