It’s the weekend which means it’s officially time for a margarita! Errr…I think it’s the weekend. It’s blending all together now. Tell me I’m not alone here 😉
A couple of you have reached out about making my Skinny Margarita Recipe that I was chatting about in my IG stories recently so here it is! In full blog form fashion! I have to say, I was inspired by my girl Jess who is not only incredible at everything she does but who is also obsessed with Skinny Margs! 😉 Ever since we met, she’s directing the bartender on her margaritas (in the sweetest way possible) and so I’ve learned some secrets along the way and now I get to enjoy making this healthy option at home.
This recipe is so super simple to make and most importantly, taste amazing with about 300 fewer calories and contain so much less sugar than a regular margarita from a restaurant or a store-bought mix.
For the record, y’all know I like my cocktails strong so please feel free to adjust liquor to taste! 😉
As always let me know what you think! If you’re strapped at home and do not have Grand Marnier or Cointreau on hand, you can use orange juice as a substitute for your orange liquor.
I prefer a silver tequila for this recipe but as always, experiment! It’s fun to try new things and have something you love because it’s yours, right!? I hope you enjoy and Happy Weekending!
