Skinny Margarita

Jump to Recipe

It's almost the weekend. I'm throwing a little carnitas taco party. Skinny Margaritas will be readily available and same with the guac. While I mentally prepare for Saturdays feast, let’s all grab the ingredients to make a skinny margarita or two and celebrate this weekend!



 

Skinny Margaritas are the only way to do a marg in my opinion. I can’t stomach all the sugar that goes into a traditional margarita – so it’s skinny all the way. The best part about this recipe is that you can jazz it up with any number of citrus juices. Depending on the season you could rock blood oranges, satsumas, tangerines, oranges, grapefruits… I mean we could go on for days. Bottom line, citrus juice, great tequila, a bit of lime juice and some sparkling water. It’s the best skinny margarita you’ll ever have and I promise you’ll be pumped when you wake up in the morning without that sugar hangover. Because, no one wants one of those!

Cheers to the weekend!

    1. this was pretty coarse salt - you can use whatever you prefer! I just would stay away from table salt - that's toooooo salty

  1. These are delicious! And love the glasses! Could you post where to purchase the glasses from? Thank you!

  2. I didn't have any fresh citrus, so I used 5 oz of frozen strawberries. Delicious!!! Thanks for a great recipe!!!

  3. It is going to be a lovely weather weekend, so the barbecue is ready and these drinks will be a welcome addition!

  4. Just had these tonight over this Labor Day weekend. Hit the spot! Will make these over and over and over again! Thanks for the easy and delicious recipe. Nothing says football like a skinny maragarita, right?!?!?
