Description

This skinny margarita recipe is lightened up with fresh orange juice and always tastes so delicious!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces tequila blanco
  • 1 1/2 ounce freshly-squeezed orange juice
  • 1 ounce freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon agave nectar (optional)
  • ice
  • lime wedge, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Salt the rim (optional). Run a lime wedge (the juicy part) around the top rim of your serving glass. Fill a shallow bowl or plate with salt and/or Tajín, then dip the rim until it is covered with your desired amount of salt. Set aside.
  2. Make the margarita mix. Add tequila, lime juice, orange juice, and a few ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Shake or stir vigorously for about 10 seconds to chill. Give the mix a quick taste and stir in your desired amount of agave if you would like a sweeter drink.
  3. Serve. Fill the prepared serving glass with ice. Strain in the margarita mix, garnish with a lime slice, serve and enjoy. Cheers!
