I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been watching too much Bethenny Getting Married (love that show, by the way!) or that I’m sad I can’t enjoy my usual chips and salsa (I’ve still got my temporary cap for another week), but I’ve really been wanting to try Bethenny’s SkinnyGirl Margarita. Have any of you tried it? I’m usually the one to order a margarita at Mexican places, but I’d love to save some calories, while enjoying the drink too!
Here’s Bethenny’s recipe:
Fresh lime juice (about 1 tbsp.) and wedges for garnish
2 oz. white tequila (Patron Silver is her favorite)
Tiny splash of Cointreau or Grand Marnier
Ice
Rim the glass with salt, add ice. Add 2 ounces of white tequila, the juice of four lime wedges, and a splash of Grand Marnier, Cointreau or Triple Sec. It’s that simple!

Yesterday’s location was Alaska. My parents are on an Alaskan cruise there this week. I know they’re having so much fun. I can’t wait to see pictures!
P.S. I’m drawing the winner of the giveaway today! Thanks to all who entered!
A friend of mine has family in Ohio & tracked it down there while visiting recently. She thought it was really good & would definitely recommend it. You can't seem to get it in the Charlotte area right now…hopefully soon.
You always post the best drinks on here!
XO,

Love that show and Bethenny too! I just get such a kick out of how totally candid she is! That's my kinda girl! Love those earrings by the way!
My Inlaws lived in Mexico for a few years when Brendan was in college and his Mom always makes them with fresh lime juice. She said that that is the way a real margarita is made. So I started making them that way and adding a little splenda to sweeten it up a little. I can't wait to have a margarita. That is the only drink I have missed in the past year and a half…
I really need to get my ears pierced!!!

Oh, I may have to try that margarita!!! I had some last night:)
Yuuum! I love margaritas!!! I think this would be hard for me to handle without the sugar though!! LOL I love my simple syrup. 🙂
Can't wait to hear who wins!!!
I've read about the "Skinny Margarita," but have never given it a try. I don't know why? I have all the ingredients in the house. Perhaps this weekend. Sounds so delicious.
I love the earrings! I just might have to buy those.
Happy Thursday!
I love that show too! Bethenny is hilarious!
That outfit is fab-I especially love the earrings! Have a great day!
ok…that dress and those earrings! why are you doing this to me?????? i am trying not to spend for the rest of the month! hahahhaa.
I've never tried a skinny girl margarita, but I've been wanting to! I have a full stock of Baja Bob's zero calorie margarita mix and it's amazing! But this sounds great and easy (and cheaper)!

Awesome drink. Could use one right about now.
Be well
I've never made one of her margs, but a girlfriend bought me a bottle of the mix and it was fantastic! Didn't taste "diet" at all 🙂
I have yet to try any of the Skinny Girl products, although I own her first cookbook. May have to try one soon, though. Sounds delish!
that sounds thirst quenching good!! perfect for pool side.. enjoy your day..HHL
It all looks wonderful and that skinny girl martini is something I could enjoy. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings…Mary
I think I am going to have a few of these (as soon as I can drink again!) ha. And I love that dress.
I have made the skinny girl margarita. It is VERY strong. I add a little extra lime juice and club soda on top, which makes it a little easier sip on. I do want to try the bottled version.
I love skinny margaritas, I can drink like 3 and I don't get that full yuk feeling.
Think I may have to see if the mexican restaurant we're celebrating my birthday at tonight can make these … maybe I can indulge in more than one margarita this way 🙂
i've never tried her margarita either, but i'm DYING to! she's is coming out with a new flavor that you can vote on. i saw it on her facebook fan page. there are some yummy new flavors to choose from.
I really want to try the SkinnyGirl Margarita too! I can never find it anywhere near me though!
Thanks I hope I entered correctly! 🙂 happy weekend!
I adore Bethenny! Love her recipes 🙂
I met Bethenny last weekend and had her sign my bottle of SkinnyGirl!!! She was so sweet.
