Skinny Margarita
Other skinny cocktails I love are Basil Cucumber Gin Coolers, Citrus Margarita Spritzer, Iced Green Tea Mojito and Watermelon Martinis to name a few.
It seems like everyone on TV is making a Skinny Cookbook these days. The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice just came out with a new cookbook called Skinny Italian
. Bethanny Frankel, from the Real Housewives of New York has a cookbook called the Skinnygirl Dish
and is the creator of the much hyped Skinnygirl Margarita.
More Skinny cocktails:
- Celery Cilantro Cocktail
- Pomegranate Martini
- Mango Bellini
- Boozy Watermelon Lime Granita
- Classic Cuban Mojito

People, stop trying to mess up a good thing. Crystal light, club soda … Meh. A true Rita has certain components… Premium clear tequila, real FRESH lime juice & orange liquor…. Ice & some salt on the rim. Anyone who needs overly sweet mixes and artificial flavors, just dosent like tequila or margaritas…. The piña coladas are to the left.
If you muddle in cucumber and jalapeno it's super yummy!
So good! Used 16oz glass filled with crushed ice. Followed instructions, then topped off w/ diet Sierra Mist. So good! Better than most restaurants! Thank you Gina!!!

Crystal Lite has all that artifical crap! Try using lemon-lime Zevia soda. Found at Super Targets and Whole foods. Zevia is great! Lots of different flavors. you can get coupons on their website and on their Face Book page.
Simple, delicious,and strong.
Awesome! This is not a sweet margarita, perfect for sipping.
Crystal Light now sells Margarita and Mojito flavored drink mixes (5 calories per cup). Add 3/4 oz tequilla for 2ww points+ (not bad at all!)
Add 1 oz of tequila for 2points+ as well. Love it. 🙂
My pleasure!

This recipe is by far my fav…it is delish!
Is the packet not pre mixed in water???
well, I would like to say my margarita was delicious, but it was just foul!!! Couldn't find the orange liquor….so thot maybe we could go with out it….nope!! It was awful!!! So, we wanted to try the pom martini, and can't find the pom juice in our little town….we tried tho!!!
I just had to share….I just purchased at Wal-Mart the Great Value brand a light drink mix called Lime Margarita. It's great. I made a glass and added a shot of tequila. Not bad a 16oz margartia…for two points!!!! Also noticed Bethany F has a skinnygirl margarita pre-made…it was $12.50 and 37.5 calories for 1.5 oz….not a great deal on points.
Hi, I've used GV Lime Margarita mix too, It was great! But I cannot find it anymore! Any ideas?
Thanks so much for all you do. You make losing weight fun!
I add 1/2 tsp of agave nectar to sweeten it a bit and when some of the ice melts, the drink is great!
