What are skinny margaritas made of? ›

For One, Classic Skinny Margarita:

1 1/2 ounces silver tequila about 3 tablespoons. 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice about 1 large or 1 1/2 small limes. 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice about 1/2 medium orange. 1 teaspoon light agave nectar add 2 if you prefer a sweeter margarita.

A regular Margarita is higher in sugar from sweetened lime juice and orange liqueur. A Skinny Margarita uses natural sweeteners, fresh juice, and little to now orange liqueur to reduce the calorie count. Taste: A Skinny Margarita will taste less sweet, but may have a fresher taste from the fruit juices.

In addition to the calories mentioned above, the Skinny Margarita contains about 10 grams of carbohydrates.

We'll just tell you upfront: The secret to a tasty margarita is freshly squeezed lime juice (not the bottled stuff) and—here's the real secret—a splash of fresh OJ. That's right. Fresh-squeezed juice from an actual orange (not an orange-flavored liqueur) will produce a cleaner-tasting, more refreshing margarita.

Order “Skinny” margarita, only it doesn't have fake sugar (you'll have to ask your server/bartender). Ask for light to no agave/simple syrup. Tequila neat/straight up with a lime. Ask to swap in Triple Sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier in place of a margarita mix, sugar, or agave.

A skinny margarita has less alcohol per co*cktail than a regular margarita. It has a total of 1 ounce of alcohol per co*cktail since it's made only with tequila, and a Classic Margarita has a total of 3 ounces of alcohol, 1.5oz of tequila, and 1.5 ounces of orange liquor.

Our Skinnygirl® Spicy Lime Margarita is a perfect balance of natural flavors like cool lime and spicy chili, mixed with premium blue agave silver tequila. Pour over ice in a festive margarita glass with a twist of lime. It's a delicious and low-cal way to feel the heat!

The “skinniest” option is a classic Margarita without any syrup at all. If you want a sweeter version without adding too many carbs, add some Xylitol simple syrup to avoid the sugar and calories of Agave. So if you're not sure what you're ordering, just talk to your bartender!

If you don't have triple sec handy, you can substitute with another good-quality orange liqueur like Grand Marnier or Cointreau. For a non-alcoholic substitute you can add fresh orange juice, or agave nectar/simple syrup, to add a touch of sweetness.

How much sugar is in a skinny margarita mix? ›

0 grams of sugar is included in the Skinny Margarita, because it was intended to serve as an option that goes beyond the low-sugar flavors. Not all Skinny Margarita mixers are 0-sugar, and the alcohol definitely adds sugar content to your co*cktail.

Recommended tequila: Use 100% agave tequila labeled white, silver or blanco. I recommend Milagro, Hornitos or Espolón.

Fill a co*cktail shaker as full as possible with ice. Add tequila, lime juice, orange juice, and agave nectar. ** Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds, then divide the contents of the shaker between your margarita glasses. Garnish with a lime wedge (or wheel) and enjoy!

The dirty margarita takes its inspiration from the dirty martini, a classic libation made with strong liquor and a splash of a little something not-so-clear. We swap olive juice for jalapeno brine, making this a drink that packs the heat–and a punch.

There's a reason this is the one that started it all. Made from premium Blue Agave Silver Tequila (yes, please) and lightly sweetened with agave nectar, the original Skinnygirl® Margarita is STILL delicious and low-calorie (really?). Yes, really.

Now you can enjoy the best of both worlds... a delicious margarita that is 5 calories and 0 sugar! The perfect blend of tart, fresh lime with a hint of salt and sweetness with our margarita mix. Just shake our Skinny Margarita Mix in a co*cktail mixer with your favorite tequila and ice.
