So it isn't exactly a margarita..but it tastes pretty close ;) and you save a lot of calories!
In a 12 oz glass:
1 shot gold tequila
Juice of 1 large lime (or 1 1/2 small) - microwave for 30 seconds first and then cut in half and use juicer.
crushed ice
Fresca to fill glass
this has about 100 calories from the tequila, about 20 calories in the lime juice/pulp, and no calories from the Fresca -
Stats Frozen margarita (2 ounces tequila, 4.5 ounces Jose Cuervo margarita mix, salt): 27 carb grams, 246 calories.
Margarita on the rocks (1.5 ounces tequila, 1 ounce Triple Sec, 1 ounce fresh lime juice): 8 carb grams, 182 calories.
Ok, realized tonight these recipes use 2 oz of tequila..we have only used 1oz, so the calories are about 50 less per drink :)
