“Healthy” Margaritas
I know, I know. HOW could a margarita possibly be healthy? You must think I’m crazy. Let me explain.
I love a good margarita, especially in the summertime. They’re right up on my list with sangria and this delicious concoction. However – I feel like a good margarita is hard to make at home – should you buy the pre-made mix? Make everything from scratch? What kind of tequila should you buy? What are the ingredients of a good marg? My friend Bethany and I have been experimenting for a few years, and I think she finally came up with a winning recipe. I did nothing to contribute to this concoction, other than the fact that I drank one, and promptly begged her to let me blog the recipe. I wouldn’t call this a “skinny” recipe, though it it full of yummy ingredients that aren’t completely full of sugar and artificial ingredients. This recipe is crisp and refreshing, and perfect for a summer pool party. Enjoy!
Bethany’s No-Mix Margaritas
- Pour equal parts tequila (we used El Caballo Estrella Tequila Blanco) and Triple Sec (we used Stirrings All Natural Triple Sec) over ice (1 – 1.5 oz. each)
- Add equal parts of your fruit juices: Simply Limeade & San Pellegrino Limonata
- Pour light beer as a “topper” – we used Bud Lite Lime
- Stir together, and squeeze a fresh lime wedge over the top
- Enjoy!
