Low-Calorie Margarita Recipe

When I am at the bar with girlfriends and want to watch my calories, my go-to order is a Skinny Margarita; but when I’m home, and I don’t have orange juice to make it, this version is lower in calories than the classic Margarita (190 cal vs. 250 cal) or a margarita recipe made from a mix, but just as delicious and refreshing!

Ingredients

You’ll make this cocktail with tequila, triple sec or Cointreau, and lime juice (freshly squeezed is best). Optionally, for rimming, you can use salt or Stevia.

How to Make a Low-Calorie Margarita

  1. Prep the glass first if you love a salty rim, so it’s ready for your cocktail.
  2. Shake the margarita ingredients with plenty of ice until the sides of the shaker are nice and frosted.
  3. Serve with fresh ice and garnish with lime wedges. Sip!
