How did Bethany respond to Whole Foods’ removal of her product? It doesn’t meet Whole Foods’ quality standard. Which sounds good except that Whole Foods pulled it off their shelves because it includes “sodium benzoate” as a preservative. The bottle says:Īll natural, lightly sweetened with agave nectar, and made with premium Blue Agave clear tequila. Now for the down side (other than the price) - there isn’t an ingredient list included on the bottle or the website. What she left out is all the sugar, so if you like your margarita really sweet you are not going to like this concoction. Four ounces is a glass of wine - so for four ounces you are drinking 94 calories - which IS skinny for a margarita. The alcohol in this drinks is 12.7% which is comparable to wine. There are 37.5 calorie in 1.5 ounces of this drink. It has a good balance between lime and tequila and I don’t have to mix anything. In a shocking moment, I said to my husband, “I would actually drink this.” What? Well, it isn’t sweet. So, I tasted the margarita, and I pronounce it very drinkable. I could continue but I bet the Bethany Frankel fans are going to start flaming me. She probably wouldn’t ride in anything later than a 2011 BMW. Ummmm, yeah, so now I have another reason to hate it because I have nothing in common with Bethany Frankel.įor example, I own a 1984 Honda Accord that I actually like to drive. Skinnygirl drinks are the creation of Bethany Frankel who was made famous by her appearance on “The Real Housewives of New York” on Bravo. You see, I have had a margarita experience involving turquoise water and white sand that will be one of the apexes of my short life.

Where have I been? I plunked down my $14 (ouch) and purchased the best seller of the lot the “Skinnygirl Margarita”. He replied, “We sell A LOT of Skinnygirl here. “Do you sell something called Skinny Girl?” I was feeling quite sheepish when I asked. But, I didn’t know what she was talking about until I asked the young man who sells kegs to college students about Skinnygirl. Looking to join the fun, but keep with the smaller waist line. And because it has about half the calories of a traditional margarita you don’t even have to feel guilty.One of my readers recently sent me to my local alcoholic beverage establishment with a request.ĭo you think you could do one on drinks for the 4th of July? I have seen the Skinny Girl ads & think hmmm, but would I be better off with a Mike's hard Cranberry Light. Whether you are celebrating Cinco de Mayo, taco Tuesday or just sitting on the deck on a hot summer day, this Skinny Margarita is perfect for sipping on.

Mix up the flavor by adding a splash of fruit juice, or sliced jalapenos if you like it spicy! It is very easy to mix up and make different versions.

Then fill with ice before adding the margarita.

Salting the rim is optional, but super easy if you want to! Run a wedge of lime around the rim of a class, and then dip the edge in salt so it sticks.

It is lighter in flavor and will lead to a tastier drink.

Use tequila that is labeled 100% agave tequila white, silver or blanco.

It only takes a couple limes and 1 orange, so it isn’t that much work! It makes all the difference from an ok drink to a delicious and refreshing drink.

When making this skinny margarita recipe use freshly squeezed juice.

Taste and adjust if you need more sweetener.

Mix together lime juice, orange juice, tequila and a little bit agave together in a shake or a pitcher.

I start with just a little and adjust up to make sure I get it right and it isn’t overly sweet. Then you add in the tequila and kind of taste test to get the perfect amount of agave. You want to start with more lime juice than orange juice, since margaritas are mainly lime flavored. The exact ratio of these ingredients is kind of up to you. Although, you can control the sweetness and add more agave if you like yours on the sweeter side! It tastes very much like a traditional margarita, but has less calories and is a little more tart. It is made from fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice that takes the place of the triple sec that is traditionally used, tequila and then agave syrup for sweetener. It has about half the calories, so you have zero guilt enjoying one. This Skinny Margarita is the perfect option.
