"The Joy Fit Club" Book Party!



I had sooo much fun celebrating the success of the Joy Fit Club book with my TODAY family this week. What a special night! From the hosts and producers to my fellow correspondents, I am so grateful to have these incredible, supportive people in my life. My family members, friends, and colleagues also came out to help me celebrate. Special thanks to Jim Bell, executive producer of the TODAY show, for hosting the fabulous party, and Megan Kopf, PR extraordinaire, for helping to plan the event and including so many special touches. The event was held at the gorgeous Eventi Hotel in Manhattan, and the rain held off, so we were able to take the entire fiesta outdoors onto the stunning veranda.

My Joy Fit sisters, Kathie Lee and Hoda, were in attendance, so of course we had to serve a signature cocktail…. Introducing the JOY FIT-TINI! It's just 130 calories and incredibly light and refreshing. I bet this slimming drink will become your new summer favorite.


 JOY FIT-TINI

1.5 ounces gin (may substitute vodka)
3 ounces ruby red or pink grapefruit juice
2 ounces club soda
Lime wedge

Pour the gin, grapefruit juice, and club soda in a glass over ice and stir. Squeeze the lime wedge into the drink.
