Actually MINUS 1 Star!

- ★

This is a freakin' DIET Book..... Diet Happy Hour (Diet anything) makes me VERY Unhappy..... So I will not partake. I do/will NOT consume Splenda, Cool Whip, Sugar Free (chemical laden) anything, Lite soy, or any type of Diet drink. So with this being said, I'm cutting this book down stars.

Although I do not like gin (except on a rare occasion w/ tonic), I KNOW that Traditional Martinis are made w/ Gin, Not Wodka.....

Is a small paperback format w/ drawings and 4 double pages of photos in the center of the book... another minus!

Things to have on hand (as a bartender) is very handy: a variety of glasses (I am surprised she actually uses glass, not plastic); a shaker (these are good, here's my tip use metal, they chill your drinks better & quicker); a blender; measuring cups & spoons; a muddler & a corkscrew; straws; sword shaped toothpicks; little paper umbrellas; and A TIP JAR "you never know"!

Drink recipes include: Kickin' key lime pie martini (cool whip); Mounds bar martinis (all chemical ingredients); Low calorie margarita (powdered sugar free lemonade); Cran-tastic margarita (1 packet Splenda); and (this is where I stop) Lava smash (fat free ice cream, sugar free syrup, & 2 packets Splenda).

I stopped at page 42, I never got to the Diet Munchies...... I'd rather die from real food & real drinks than Chemical concoctions..... Besides SPLENDA mixed w/ alcohol? OH HAIL NO!

I will re-title this to: "The Hungry Girl UN-Happy Hour" ( )
