The real skinny margarita

Real Skinny Margarita

 

Happy Friday! If your weekend plans include dining at a Mexican restaurant or sipping cocktails on a patio, try my Real Skinny margarita recipe!  For so long I avoided the margarita all together, a regular margarita can run up to 700 calories (Mi Cocina’s Mambo Taxi packs just over 700 calories in one drink) and I was never a fan of the Skinny Girl margarita (many restaurants make their version of this drink using artificial sweeteners).  A friend of mine introduced me to the concept of mixing my own margarita using just the 2 most vital ingredients in the drink, tequila and lime juice, and thus was born the Real Skinny margarita!

 

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz. tequila
  • 1/8 cup fresh lime juice

Just 108 calories per drink!

When ordering the drink, I order Don Julio Silver on the rocks with a side of lime juice and then mix in the lime juice myself.
