How to Make a SkinnyGirl Margarita

When summer is approaching and you're out for a night on the town or hosting a party-it never hurts to watch your waistline while you're drinking. Here's a quick and easy recipe for my SkinnyGirl (or guys-you can drink it too!) Margarita.

From Quick Guide: Margarita Guide
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Ice
  • Blender (if you want it frozen)
  • Fresh lime juice (about 1 tbsp.) and wedges for garnish
  • 2 oz. white tequila (100 percent agave is very important--Patron Silver is my favorite)
  • A tiny splash of triple sec, Grand Marnier or Cointreau (about 1 tsp.)
  • Margarita glasses
  1. Step 1

    If you want a SGM on the rocks, it's quite simple. Add ice to a rocks glass, add 2 oz. (a two count) of white tequila, the juice of four lime wedges and a splash of triple sec, Grand Marnier or Cointreau. It's that easy!

  2. Step 2

    If you're ordering a SGM at a bar, you can have it on the rocks, but I like to replace the triple sec, Grand Marnier or Cointreau with a splash of frozen margarita mix. You get the same great flavor and a little bit of a different texture. It's great!

  3. Step 3

    If you want a frozen margarita, combine all of the ingredients in a blender; just make sure that there is 2 oz. of tequila per serving and you're ready to go! Serve in a chilled glass; and if you'd like to garnish the glass, rim it with a lime and dip in salt or sugar or both.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can add a little bit of lime zest to your drinks with a microplaner.
  • To get the juice from a lime with ease, roll it on a hard surface first.
  • Don't consume too many; I usually have two before I switch to something non-alcoholic.
