Good ideas but misleading
I haven't tried these recipes but they are interesting and that's what my review is based on. Good variety of vegetables to balance the fattening cheeses. Fairly easy to make and not too time consuming. Not exactly health conscious as some recipes call for diet soda but you can get around that. And awareness really counts when it comes to sugar free ingredients as some are dangerous. But that's also something you can try getting around. She calls these guilt free recipes and I think she's completely wrong on that as the calorie count can be high. From the cheeses to the sodas and fruit juices you're going to take in a fair amount of calories. I like the book a lot but her description on the cover is very misleading. That being said it's a good party book.

Love this book
So many cocktails I am excited to try! So easy to waste calories on drinks, which makes this a perfect book to make alternatives that nobody knows, taste great and saves on calories and sugar!

Low-Calorie Drinks Galore!
Love many things about Lisa Lillien and her Hungry Girl line! This is one of them! The drink variations are pretty great! You CAN taste slight differences on many of them, but they're not for the worse - just different! I've found that drinking mixed drinks at bars now almost taste too sweet. I try to stay away from her no-calorie sweetener suggestions. I don't trust products like Splenda and instead prefer to use more natural sweeteners like honey or agave. But if you're wanting to throw a few back without adding as many of the calories, this is a great book to have!

Very good quality - the spine opens to a specific page (the prior owner made the recipe on that page I guess) but otherwise I thought it was new. Impressive quality

Mom loved her Mother's Day Gift
My mom loved that this was fun and had not only fun happy hour drinks but food to have with these fun beverages. She shared the book with all of her friends!

Excellent
I love this book. I used to bartend and you should know that the majority of alcoholic beverages are so packed with calories it's disgusting. Unless you drink a martini (a real martini not a fruity mixed drink in a martini glass), red wine, or a vodka tonic, you will be stuck drink hundreds of empty calories. Not to mention that a huge reason people get sick while drinking their favorite mixed drink is because it is so sweet.This book gives me the relief of the scary calorie count that accompanies my hang over.

Guiltless Drinking
I wanted this book so that I could enjoy serving drinks to my friends with out putting extra pounds on myself or others. Great ideas to save on calories so you do not feel guilty about having a few drinks. I am a lifetime member of WW & I love all of the Hungry Girl tips. I do not diet, I eat what I want & I count my points & now with WW 360 I can enjoy few drinks now & then too.
