In an effort to satisfy consumer demand for better-for-you foods and beverages, the Hilton Anatole Hotel has become one of the first large-volume foodservice establishments in Dallas to offer reduced-calorie, reduced-sugar cocktails on its bar menu.
The Hilton Anatole is an early adopter to the “Turning the Town Truvia®”, a consumer and foodservice marketing campaign in Dallas which promotes reduced-sugar, zero-calorie natural sweetness.
Now through May, consumers can visit the Truvia page on Facebook to nominate a bar, café or restaurant they’d like to see carry Truvia sweetener. Each nominee will have a chance to win a $5,000 grand prize giveaway. As result, consumers may see Truvia sweetener on the tabletops of their favorite eateries in the near future.
As part, Mixologist Robin Jackson at the Hilton Anatole’s Gossip Bar is featuring four “skinny” cocktails sweetened with zero-calorie simple syrups made from Truvia sweetener, outlined below:
Slender Mojito- Bacardi Superior Rum combined with Truvia® simple syrup, freshly muddled mint and lime, and splash of club soda.
Lemon Drop Lite- A combination of Absolut Citron Vodka, Truvia® simple syrup, and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Slende-Rita- Patron Silver tequila, Truvia® simple syrup combined with fresh lime juice and club soda.
The Skinny Berry Mojito- A mixture of Bacardi Superior Rum, Truvia® simple syrup, freshly muddled mixed berries, lime, mint, and splash of club soda.
Talk to your kids about risky online behavior makes a difference
What’s your teen doing online? What are their privacy settings? The more parents know and the more they talk to their children about it, the better. A study looking at the behavior of teenage girls online showed that their profile says a lot about them.
Dr. Jennie Noll is a professor of pediatrics at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
“Parents need to be able to talk to their adolescents in a non-threatening and non-shaming way, so that they can keep the lines of communication open about the dangers of high risk behaviors on the internet.”
Noll suggests these conversations start earlier, because kids jump online at younger ages.
Her research showed that parental control devices did nothing, but being involved with a child’s online presence proved key.
