Homemade Skinny Margarita Recipe

May 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

Happy Cinco de Mayo! How convenient that it falls on Taco Tuesday this year – sounds like the ideal day, am I️ right? With all of the beautiful weather we’ve been having, I️’ve been craving summery drinks – and margaritas have been my go-to lately. I️ actually don’t love all of the sugar in margarita mixes (I️’m just not into overly sugary alcoholic drinks, in general), so I️ came up with my own skinny margarita recipe that I️’ve been enjoying lately.

Skinny Margarita Recipe | Low Sugar + Low Calorie

I️ thought now would be a great time to share it with you! Luckily, there are only four ingredients and you may already have everything you need at home.

In my opinion, silver tequila is the way to go. I prefer the light taste in comparison to gold tequila, but you can technically use any kind for these margs – I’ve made them with both kinds! I use Jose Cuervo, but next time, I’m going to try Casamigos Blanco – I’ve heard it’s even better.

You can also make different variations of this skinny margarita or add different ingredients to mix things up. Sometimes I️’ll add a splash of orange juice, or use orange or tangerine sparkling water rather than lime flavor. Also, sometimes I️ enjoy adding the salt rim to my glass but most of the time, I️ skip it. The best thing about this recipe for skinny margaritas is that you really can’t go wrong, no matter how you vary the recipe. I️ love that I️ can feel better about enjoying a cocktail without all of the added sugar of most margaritas!

Hopefully it’s been better than mine 🤣🤣

Happy NYE, friends! It certainly has been an inter Happy NYE, friends! It certainly has been an interesting year, but I can’t say that 2020 was all that bad for us. I joke about it being a ‘dumpster fire,’ but I have appreciated all of the extra time at home with my family, not feeling the pressure to always be on the go and of course, launching my business @somethingbleuclt! ✨ I hope you have time for a moment to reflect on your year and find the good moments and hold onto those memories ❤️

Decided to go all out this year and make macarons Decided to go all out this year and make macarons for Santa 🎅🏼 Did you know that traditional French macarons are gluten- and dairy-free? I️ made mine with @egglandsbest 100% Liquid Egg Whites, my favorite brand of egg whites - they are always gluten-free and contain 5g of protein per serving! It was surprisingly simple to make these macarons, and now I️'m hooked! You can make them for any holiday or theme just by changing the color and flavor! <3 #HolidayswithEBEggWhites #ad
