Skinny Girl Margaritas: Low Calorie Drink with Lots of Flavor

      That's right, a margarita that tastes good and is good for you. I recently turned 21 and have tried a few drinks here and there but I am careful about consuming alcohol simply because of the high calorie content, not to mention fat and sugar content.

       The name of this concoction is "Skinny Girl Margarita." It's inventor so to speak is former Real Housewives of New York's very own Bethenny Frankel. I barely watched the Real Housewives of New York when it was on but towards the end, I did and was interested in Bethenny's drink. Though I've never tried it, it seems like it is indeed a good drink.



Here's what it's made of:

     Silver Tequila, lime juice (fresh squeezed), Triple Sec and lightly sweetened with agave nectar. The tequila is Blue Agave clear Tequila. Skinny Girl Margarita contains no high fructose corn syrups, artificial colorings and dyes. It's 100% natural. A 4oz glass of this concoction is just 100 calories as oppose to 500 calories of a traditional margarita.

Some customers say this drink is very bland. A way to spice it up is by adding some lime juice to it, or some lemonade. A few other suggestions are to add some fresh squeezed fruit juice to liven the taste a bit. After reading some of the reviews, I am more likely to add some natural sweetness to this drink.


Always drink responsibly.
