Enjoy all the flavors of the original recipe with half the calories in this Skinny Margarita with Triple Sec!
Triple Sec Skinny Margarita
When you want a Guilt-free skinny Margarita but don't want to give up the vibrant citrus flavors of triple sec, this recipe is the one to have in your back pocket! While I have lots of Skinny Margarita Recipes on this site, few are as close to my heart as the recipes that include triple sec and Cointreau because of the citrus flavor it adds to every sip.
Ingredients
Triple sec is a staple ingredient in all great margarita recipes and the generic and more affordable version of the classic Cointreau. Both work for this recipe. You'll also need tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, orange juice (freshly squeezed, store-bought, or light orange juice to keep sugars low), and a zero-calorie sweetener like Stevia or a sugar-free cocktail syrup.
This Skinny Margarita with Triple Sec has 129 calories, which is 109 calories less than a Classic Margarita, which contains 238 calories, making for a low-calorie sipping experience!
How to Make a Margarita with Triple Sec
- Rim the glass with salt or a zero-calorie sweetener, if that's your jam.
- Shake up the cocktail shaker filled with ice and the ingredients until the sides are nice and frosted.
- Serve your drink with ice and garnish with a lime wedge for added flavor. Enjoy!
