I arrived home tired. My feet hurt (12.5 hours of running around like a legit crazy woman is hard work y'all). I was hungry. And I wanted a margarita. Without much thinking, I threw together what I wanted rather than what I thought I should have. Ya know what I mean?
Curry + Tequila was on the brain.
Cauliflower, brussels, green beans steamed then broiled with olive oil spray, curry powder, sea salt, black pepper.
And Skinny margaritas on the deck!
What's even better than reading about how I sucked down 2-3 of these babies? Winning a free bottle of Sinless All-Natural Margarita mix! When the very nice people at Sinless contacted me and asked if I would want to sample their mix, I said a big ole "YES PLEASE!"
Now you all know I'm quite the [skinny] margarita lover (evidence here, here, and here). But I'm also quite picky. I hate sour mix and I don't believe a margarita should equal a day's worth of calories. I like Bethenny Frankel's idea of a "skinny" margarita. But let's face it, a margarita with the same alcohol content of wine is not a margarita, nor is particularly skinny when you end up drinking 3-4 glasses.
Therefore, I created my own version(s) of skinny margaritas that I adore. They are easy to make at home but sometimes I wish I had a pre-made mix (think pool party, bbq, etc).
Thankfully the tequila gods answered my prayers.
5 calories per serving. And all-natural.
Yep. Water, lime juice, lemon juice, vitamin C, and stevia. That's it.
1 - 1.5 shots/oz clear tequila
drizzle (1/4 shot) triple sec
drizzle (1/4 shot) triple sec
1 oz mix
ice
+ 4 thawed straberries
Shake, shake, shake!
