Skinny Margarita

Here’s everything I used to make this easy margarita.

• Tequila: You can use any tequila of your choosing for this margarita! I like to stick to blanco tequila and have found that I can really tell the difference between good quality tequila and lower shelf tequila in terms of flavor and the effects on my body. In this particular instance, I actually tried Lunazul Blanco Tequila for the first time.
• Lime: Fresh lime juice is a crucial ingredient in any margarita! Bottled lime juice works as well but doesn’t quite taste the same. I like to garnish with a slice of lime as well!
• Orange: Using fresh orange juice straight from the orange in place of triple sec or an orange liqueur helps to reduce the sugar in this margarita and makes it taste oh so fresh and delicious.
• Agave Nectar: Agave nectar adds just a touch of sweetness to this drink – you can add as little or as much as you like. If you don’t have agave nectar, a little simple syrup or regular sugar would work as well.
• Club Soda/Sparkling Water: Traditionally, club soda is used to top off a skinny marg, but I tend to prefer sparkling water like San Pellegrino or Perrier. Whatever you choose, the bubbles are essential for this drink!
• Margarita Salt: If you like a salty margarita then don’t forget to add some to the rim of your glass! If you prefer it without salt, then you can skip this step.
