Eat Happy Cocktail Hour

For your next dinner party or friend’s night in, mix up your menu with gluten free, grain free, and low-carb recipes for cocktails, mocktails, small plates, and dips.

The food we remember most is the food we eat in good company. From the fare at fancy parties to shared treats at laid-back potlucks, bespoke cocktails and shareable dishes should be indulgent—but that doesn’t mean they have to be full of sugar and processed ingredients.

Anna Vocino, founder of Eat Happy Kitchen and author of the Eat Happy cookbooks, shares 72 drinks and appetisers—easygoing recipes that can accommodate a party’s worth of dietary needs, including keto, paleo, gluten free, and low carb.

Discover crowd-pleasing recipes for:

• No sugar added twists on classic cocktails and fresh new favourites, including the Meaty Mary, Watermelon Mint Martini, and Chai Spiced Whiskey
• Fun, elegant mocktails like Mojitos and strawberry hibiscus Frozés
• Grain- and gluten-free party foods like Sesame Deviled Eggs, Spicy Pizza Bites, and Bacon Beef Mini Smash Sliders
• Dips and sauces that will brighten any spread, including Hot Spinach Dip, Chicken Satays with Thai Peanut Dipping Sauce, and Creamy Beet Hummus
• Surprisingly low-sugar sweets like Mini Espresso Cheesecake Bombs and Boozy Ginger Peach Pops

Featuring full-colour photography and tips for mixology, Eat Happy Cocktail Hour offers a mindful way to indulge without overindulging and celebrate nourishing food that doesn’t sacrifice flavour or style.
