Title : GETTING THE SKINNY ON THE MARGARITA
GETTING THE SKINNY ON THE MARGARITA
It's summer, it's hot it's time for a margarita- make mine skinny please!
I did some much needed research on the Skinny Margarita craze last weekend. In the name of science, of course, I tested Bethanny Frankel's uber successful Skinny Girl brand as well as Jose Cuervo's light brand. Both are touted as being around 100 calories per drink, but on closer inspection it appears that that number is for a 4 ounce drink. Four ounces-that's a taste, a taunt, certainly not what I would consider a proper margarita drink! So let's rework the numbers-a 6 ounce drink is around 150 calories, still way below 500 for the frozen fishbowl variety I slurp at my local Mexican haunt. On the taste front, they were both good but not fantastic. I wasn't getting the fresh lime taste I crave in a good margarita. (I did prefer the taste of the Jose Cuervo brand out of the two-but the Skinny Girl bottle is fantasatic)
I made my own light variety and it was a snap. Three ingredients and your choice to salt the glass rim or not. A 6 ounce glass is 130 calories.
So easy, so skinny-I feel better already! Have a great weekend!
Easy Skinny Margarita
