I miss the days when I could have a REGULAR margarita. You know the fabulous frozen concoction smoothly pouring out of the machine at your favorite dining establishment? When I was in my 20’s and didn’t have a sugar care in the world there was truly nothing like a frozen margarita. As time marched forward, the feeling I had after indulging in frozen margaritas outweighed my love for them. Sadly the sugar-filled sweet-and-sour mix is almost certain to send me home with a stomach ache that lasts well into the next morning. With that being said, in my 30’s I realized it was probably time to shift gears and find a margarita recipe that doesn’t have the same effecton my stomach. When it comes to margaritas… I’m very picky (and I own it)! I wanted to create a margarita recipe that could be made at home, but still has the taste and feel of my favorite restaurant margaritas. Combining elements from different margaritas I’ve loved in the past, I’ve developed a skinny margarita recipe that is PERFECT for me… hence the name! Naturally sweetened and made with fresh juices, this skinny margarita is the perfect drink for summer hosting. When entertaining, multiply this recipe for your guest count and serve in a pitcher. You and your guests are certain to love! The perfect recipe to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend… enjoy! 

I’ve found the easiest way to juice limes is with a handheld juicer like this one HERE.  However, when juicing in bulk, I LOVE this electric press HERE.
