Two Skinny Margaritas coming right up!!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo Guys! 

You can bet your bottoms I’m wearing my embroidered top all day today – lol. As well as having a margarita, or two 🙂 

If there is one thing I love, it’s a good margarita. But you know me, if I am having a margarita, you know it’s going to be a skinny one! As much as I love a traditional margarita, the sugar in it is just not worth it to me. 

I’m not going to lie to you guys and say this margarita tastes just like a traditional frozen one, but it still tastes pretty amazing! It’s super refreshing and still makes me wanna fiesta like there’s no mañana 😉 

So what makes this margarita skinny? 

There is basically no added sugar, nor fake sugar. It has a higher grade tequila, which is indeed better for you. I substitute  triple sec for 1/2 of an orange, and I do not put salt around the rim!

But here’s the recipe!
