Go Wheat-Free For The New Year!
You may be familiar with reality star Bethenny Frankel's business
venture called "Skinny Girl" cocktails.
Well, someone out there decided that since some alcohol contains
wheat, it's time for cocktails (like our meals) to go wheat-free.
And if you're already wheat-free or plan on going wheat-free in the
new year, here are 3 drinks that are "wheat-free".
Drink no. 1-
A Lemon-Thyme Sparkler!
Use champagne to make this drink, and since champagne is wheat-free,
you may want to make this to ring in the new year.
To make-
In a pot, heat 1/2 cup xylitol, 1/2 cup water and 5 sprigs of thyme.
Let the xylitol dissolve, remove the thyme and let cool.
And to finish this special cocktail- combine 4 oz. champagne,
1 Tbs. lemon juice (fresh lemon juice) and a tsp. of the thyme syrup
in a cocktail glass, stir well and add a slice of lemon (for garnish).
Look for xylitol at health-food stores.
Drink no. 2-
A Blood Orange Margarita-
This is a tangy, wheat-free drink.
To make--
Combine fresh blood orange juice- 6 oz. along with 4 oz. tequila. 2 oz. of triple sec,
some stevia (to taste) and the juice of 1 fresh lime. Stir well.
Serve over ice, enough for 4 servings.
Find blood oranges at larger supermarkets.
And lastly, to help you get to sleep, try this cocktail.
Drink no. 3-
An Orange Spiced Mulled Wine-
Great as a sleep aid or really cold nights.
To make-
In a small pot over low heat, combine 1 btl. of Cabernet Sauvignon, (750 mil)
6 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, the zest and juice of 1 orange and xylitol, 1/4 cup.
Make sure to clean peel thoroughly as it may contain pesticides.
Simmer for 30 minutes, strain and pour into 6 glasses. Drink while warm.
That's it- 3 cocktails that are great tasting and wheat-free.
Good Luck!

One last tip-
Make sure to get a head start on Christmas 2016 and better health, how?
By using the whole pine (or Christmas) tree to improve your health.
That's right, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and download...see title to the
right.
Learn how the needles, the pine cones, the nuts, (pine nuts)
the bark and the scent of a pine tree (or wreath) can
improve heart health, conquer those cravings, overcome
jet lag, cure indoor allergies, lower stress levels
and alleviate the effects of a cold.
