Would You Like a (Skinny) Margarita With That Sun?

So, as I drive home after a day at work with the window's down, on a Friday, with 30 degree temperatures, a smile lights up my face as it is that time of year again.

The time where it is gorgeously hot with a warm breeze at night, and what a better way to say hello to the weekend then a margarita on the balcony, soaking up the sunlight before it fades into night.

What is that I hear you say? Summer is approaching and you are wanting to watch your waistline? Not a problem! A recipe I have dug up called "Skinny Margarita" is only 118.4 calories, compared to your usual 311 calories. BRILLIANT! Just what every woman wants to hear right?!



So how do you create some of this magic? Well, it is simple! Right in the vicinity of your home!

Ingredients:


  • 1 cup of lime juice 
  • 1 cup of water
  • 20 drops of stevia
  • 6 oz tequila
  • 2 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • Ice
  • Salt for the glass rim- for an extra touch!


Steps:


  1. Make a pitcher of margaritas by stirring all the ingredients together and taste it to alter sweetness levels
  2. Add an additional (optional) stevia
  3. Serve in your salt-rimmed glass over ice!


Serves: 4 glasses



Too easy right, all within 10 minutes and you could be looking at this on your balcony too, but actually enjoying it!!

Bring on summer (and that slim waistline at the same time too)!!!
