Sloe Gin Fizz
Here's another easy recipe to amp up your party. The classic version calls for club soda rather than prosecco, so feel free to make that substitution if you like. Oh, and sloe gin isn't exactly gin. It's more of a liqueur made by soaking sloe berries in gin or vodka. The tart berry flavor goes wonderfully with the fizzy, festive prosecco, and it's low-carb to boot.

I substituted the orange liqueur with my sugar-free triple sec and tried it with some reposado tequila as a variation on blanco. I liked it so much I'm putting it in my recipe. It was so good I couldn't save the recipe until the holidays,…

I also had some full-fat coconut milk left after making my Thai curry, so I adapted another of Steve the Bartender's recipes to make it low-carb. The Batida de Coco is a Brazilian cocktail, though it doesn't seem to be very well-known in the US. Well, the secret is out! I was shocked at how refreshing and delicious it was, so I hope you'll try it and comment below. For my Keto friends, there…
