Cinco de Mayo! A DIY Low-Cal Vegan Margarita, ole!
I love, love, love (did I mention love?) margaritas! Unfortunately, I stopped drinking them for a few years because I couldn’t justify the calories (a few hundred in each = no bueno). Luckily I had the opportunity to drink a real margarita made with just a few simple ingredients: good tequila, real lime juice, agave nectar, water and a little salt. The store bought margarita mixes have 0% juice. So you may be wondering, “What’s in it then?” Exactly! It’s really just sugar and nothing good for you. So..an added bonus is that this recipe actually allows you to get a little nutrition (click the links above for info) with your booze; how awesome is that?! Now, on to the good stuff. Get your glass ready and salt the rim ‘cuz here we go!
My Favorite Margarita Recipe
1.5 oz of Good Tequila (and I’m not kidding, nothing in a plastic bottle please).
The juice of one lime.
3/4 oz of agave nectar
3/4 oz of water
Shake it up, pour it over ice and it’s party time!
I’m off to responsibly enjoy one of these tasty treats with my husband’s signature guacamole and my famous fish tacos. Buenos Noches!
