Low-Carb Cocktails

During the holiday season, and all year round, whenever we go out
to a party or meet friends for drinks many of us feel we have to
miss out or blow our diets. Not so, according to Dr. Douglas J.
Markham the author of Beyond Atkins and now Low-Carb Cocktails.

In his latest effort to help us control our diets, Markham offers
not only a number of excellent recipes for beverages which will
fit a low-carb regimen but much more. This handy little pocket
sized book begins with the Principles of the Low-Carb Lifestyle
and goes on to Understanding the Types of Alcohol, The Physical
Effects and even The Responsible Use of Alcohol. This combined
with Responsible Hosting and Bartending Tips, a section with
information on Stocking your Low-Carb Cocktail Bar and even
Low-Carb Cocktails Nutritional Facts make this a must have for
every bar (even if you aren't on a low-carb diet).

Whether you are looking for a hot or cold alcoholic beverage or
even a nonalcoholic drink, you will find a low-carb version of it
here. With your drinks you can also enjoy the sections on
Protein-rich Low-Carb Snacks, Snacks Requiring No Recipes, Dips
and Dippers and even Hors d'Oeuvres. The ideas and suggestions
make sense for everyone at your party, most won't even know they
are low-carb.
