At our house, even the margaritas have been put on a diet!
Our “Skinny Margaritas” have only 74 calories per 12oz drink!
We like margaritas— but we don’t like the fact that they can have as many as 500 calories each.
I came across this recipe for a “Skinny Margarita” and I knew it must have been good when my S.O. started asking me EXACTLY how I made them.
So here goes:
Into a 12oz glass add 1oz of tequila (or to taste), one packet of Crystal Light Lemonade powder, 2 tablespoons of ReaLime (or similar), some ice cubes and 8oz of Diet 7UP (or Diet Sprite).
Mix thoroughly, garnish with a slice of lime-- and drink!
You can optionally add a splash of Triple Sec and/or Grand Marnier.
Most tequilas have around 69 calories/oz, the Crystal Light has 5 calories— and everything else has 0 calories.
So our 12oz margaritas have only 74 calories in them.
Does it taste *exactly* like a 500 calorie margarita?
No. But it DOES taste like about a 450 calorie margarita!
THAT, my friends, is good living.

Mmmmm, margarita! Sounds great!
Do you have any suggestion for alternatives to the Crystal Lite, as I've never seen it in Australia.
