Skinny Margarita Recipe
A low-calorie twist on a classic Margarita Cocktail that’s bright, tangy, and ready in under five minutes—your new favorite Easy Cocktail for any festive moment.
Ingredients
- 2 oz silver tequila (Patrón Silver or Olmeca Altos recommended)
- 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
- ¾ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional, for extra brightness)
- ½ oz agave nectar (substitute 1 tsp monk fruit syrup for keto)
- ¼ oz triple sec (Cointreau or homemade orange essence—skip for ultra-lean)
- Pinch fine sea salt (enhances flavor)
- Lime wheel or wedge for garnish
- Coarse salt or Tajín for rimming (optional)
Instructions
- Pour a small layer of coarse salt or Tajín onto a plate. Run a lime wedge around the glass’s rim, then dip it in the seasoning—give it a gentle twist to coat evenly.
- In a cocktail shaker, add tequila, lime juice, lemon juice (if using), agave nectar, and triple sec.
- Fill the shaker with large ice cubes. Ensure a strong chill without rapid dilution.
- Secure the lid and shake hard for about 10 seconds until frosty.
- Use a Hawthorne strainer or sieve to pour the cocktail into your rimmed glass, over fresh ice if desired.
- Add a lime wheel to the rim and give it a little twist. Enjoy the citrus aroma.
Notes
Always use freshly squeezed juices for best taste. Adjust agave nectar for desired sweetness level. Opt for high-quality tequila for a better cocktail experience.
