More than 70 ways to enjoy cocktail hour--without worrying about the calories For people watching their weight, enjoying the occasional cocktail can be a problem, since the average mixed drink contains over 300 calories. Now Teresa Howes comes to the rescue with scores of cocktail recipes that average only 142 calories each--but have the same great flavor and alcohol content as their full-calorie counterparts. From a Skinny Appletini and a Skinny Cosmopolitan to a Skinny Mojito and a Skinny Margarita, these guilt-free drinks feature low-sugar or sugar-free mixers, fresh fruit, and other clever ways to cut the calories. With 39 beautiful color photographs plus a section on diet-friendly drinks people can order at a bar or restaurant, SkinnyTinis is a must-have guide for weight-conscious social drinkers everywhere. Teresa Marie Howes (San Diego, CA) is a business consultant at Jenny Craig, the popular weight-loss company, where she has helped create and implement many strategic programs. Her companion Web site for this book, skinnytinis.com, includes news, recipes, quizzes, and a create-your-own recipe feature. |
