Originally posted 05/14/2012 03:00PM
This season of The Bachelorette promises to be a bit more sophisticated than past seasons thanks to down-to-earth mom Emily Maynard.
Instead of shots and hot-tub make-out scenes, expect more traditional romance for the single mom of a 6-year-old daughter. "Her being a single mom definitely changed the tone," Bachelorette host Chris Harrison tells PEOPLE.
Still, expect at least a few drinks to continue to flow – on the show and at viewing parties! – as Maynard, 26, meets a bevvy of eager suitors.
In celebration of Maynard's reserved Southern style, Las Vegas based mixologist Robert "Bobby G" Gleason, who has been a professional bartender for over 25 years, has come up with two sweet, lady-like cocktails for viewers to enjoy as they watch Maynard search for Mr. Right.

Cinco de Mayo: Try a Healthy, Fresh Guacamole Recipe
Originally posted 05/02/2012 04:10PM
Celebrating Cinco de Mayo – but hoping to keep things on the lighter side? Don't worry, you can still enjoy guacamole and even a margarita.
"Chips and guac with a margarita quite simply symbolize vacation and relaxation to me," says nutritionist and author Keri Glassman, who offers a lighter take on the dish for PEOPLE.com readers. "This Cinco de Mayo, I'll probably make guac and chips at home with my kids and enjoy a margarita on the rocks while they sip homemade lime slushies."
As for the recipe, which incorporates nonfat Greek yogurt and reduces the amount of avocados, Glassman explains: "By using fewer avocados than usual and adding yogurt, we reduce the fat but keep all the avocado flavor and creaminess."
