Indulge guilt-free in this refreshing Skinny Orange Margarita for a delightful low-calorie happy hour or brunch cocktail.
Skinny Orange Juice Margarita
While one of my favorite drinks is my Orange Margarita, my girlfriends are obsessed with all my Skinny Margarita recipes; so I guess it was only a matter of time until I created this skinny Margarita with orange juice that made all of us happy.
Since this tequila cocktail is light and made with no sugary syrups, it has only 98 calories, which is 140 calories less than a classic Margarita, which has 238 calories! Low in sugars and calories! Win-win!
Ingredients
This recipe calls for tequila, freshly squeezed or store-bought orange juice (or light orange juice to keep sugars lower), freshly squeezed lime juice, and a zero-calorie sweetener, like stevia or sugar-free cocktail syrup.
How to Make a Skinny Orange Margarita
- Prep the glass first, if you enjoy a rim with salt, zero-calorie sugar, or Tajín.
- Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, then give it a good shake until the sides are frosted.
- Pour it into the prepared glass and top off with fresh ice. Garnish with lime or orange wedges (or both!) and a sprig of mint for a fragrant touch. Enjoy!
