5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for the Low Carb Drinker, November 28, 2004

Bob Skilniks' book includes all the info you'll ever need for drinking low-carb. After being on a low carb diet for over a year there is finally a book that specifically tells you the carb count in the all the beers, alcohols, wines, liqueurs, etc. from A-Z.

The book also includes recipes for lc simple syrup, irish cream, etc. as well as many mixed drink recipes.

A lot of time and research went into this book and it's definitely worth its low price. I am so pleased with the book that I ordered four more for Christmas gifts.

As the author, I welcome everyone to use the information in the book to watch those pesky carbs and use the 200 mixed-drink recipes as a springboard for further creative experimentation. With the carbohydrate counts for over 1000 beer, 400 wines, 60 liqueuers and liquors at your hand, the information is here for anyone to become a Low Carb Bartender too!

Whether you're on Atkins, South Beach, Protein Power...or any carb-centric diet, there's something in this book for you. Just remember---moderation, not deprivation!

This review is from: The Low-Carb Bartender: Carb Counts for Beer, Wine, Mixed Drinks, and More (Paperback)

Bob Skilnik's book not only gives the lowdown on low carb, but it gives drink recipes that even I, a non-bartender, can follow. Now when I have a party, I can impress my friends with drinks that range from the old standbys to ones they've never heard of--all of which taste great! And for those friends watching their carbs, they're grateful to boot.

The Low Carb Bartender is a book that pulls no punches and gives it to us straight--or on the rocks.
