I have never met a margarita that I didn’t like! But, those regular margaritas can lead to a serious hangover! Plus, why drink a 500-calorie cocktail when you can enjoy a lighter version like this ⬇️ The actual count will vary by recipe, but eight ounces of a standard margarita on the rocks will set you back about 455 calories, while a 12-ounce margarita has about 680 calories.
Using fresh citrus and a touch of stevia instead of a pre-made mixer is going to change the way you drink forever! Ditch the sugar and enjoy Cinco de Mayo with this 100-calorie drink that won’t leave you filled with the morning-after headache! Plus, if you are staying in you only need a handful of ingredients to make this easy peasy Skinny Margarita! 🍋
So what’s the difference between a regular margarita and this low-cal substitute? Make this version and you will taste the difference today and feel the difference tomorrow!
TheF**tChick No-Sugar Added Citrus Margarita:
Step One: Run a wedge of lime around the rim of the glass to wet it!
Step Two: Dip the glass on to a plate full of coarse salt or tajin.
Step Three: In a cocktail shaker add ice, 1 oz tequila, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, and a dash of fresh orange juice!
Step Four: Place the lid on the shaker and shake for about 30 seconds!
Step Five: Strain the liquid into your glas filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge!
Variations:
- Turn this into a watermelon margarita with watermelon puree!
- Turn this into a berry flavored skinny margarita with your berries of choice!
- Turn this into a grapefruit margarita swap the orange juice for freshly squeezed grapefruit instead!
- Make it Spicy! The night before, combine sliced jalapeno with your tequila to infuse the flavor. Remove the jalapeno the next day before using the tequila!
Everyone loves to go out and celebrate with margaritas on Cinco de Mayo, but I wanted to share **tChick secret weapon to a sugar-free cocktail that tastes just like the real thing! Of course there will be margarita specials across thousands of restaurants this time of year, but most people don’t realize that this frozen drink may be among the highest calorie alcoholic beverages you can choose. Laced with sugar and sweet liqueur, just one margarita may contain as many calories as your meal!
One of my favorite alcoholic treats is a blended margarita, and I order them as often as I can. My trick is to order a high quality tequila blended with ice and NOTHING ELSE! Even though the server may think it doesn't sound good, they don’t realize I know exactly what I am getting. When my drink is served I add fresh squeezed lime juice (and some liquid stevia) until it tastes just right. I will never regret having more than one, and I love that it tastes exactly like the real thing! Why let alcohol derail your weight loss goals when it is so easy to skip the sugar and DRINK YOURSELF SKINNY!🍹🍸🧉
