Low-cal margarita … in a mason jar, of course

Low-Cal Margarita Recipe in a Mason Jar. 

low-cal-margarita-recipe

I was having a little Cinco de Mayo dilemma …

 

Because when I think of Cinco de Mayo, I think Margarita.  In all its lemon-limey and tequila deliciousness.  On the rocks.  With salt.

 

Problem is, the calories don’t exactly fit neatly into my new “wear pants with a zipper” diet plan …

 

… and can I just tell you that two days of 80+ degree weather here in Chicago has really reinvigorated that “wear pants with a zipper” diet plan.  Which I probably need to amend to “wear shorts with a zipper” diet plan …

 

So when I came across this 115 calorie low-cal Margarita recipe, I just couldn’t resist making some for me …

 

… and sharing the recipe with you, of course!

115 Calories

I packet sugar free lemonade (like this Crystal Light product here …)

6 oz. diet lemon-lime soda

1 shot tequila

1 ounce lime juice

Just mix it all together and pour over ice.

You can even mix up a batch or two and put them in mason jars on ice.  Just shake it up before drinking.

And the pink ones are pink because I used the sugar-free pink lemonade mix.

  18. Boy could I Have used of those last week, even earlier this week. They sound so good. Gonna have to make some of those. I drink lots of sun tea in summer, helps me stay somewhat thinner. But have to use bathroom an awful lot. Watch out everybody get out of my way or you’ll get mowed down, said to cat/dog.
    So glad for you to have some lovely days. Having kids out in front playing is one great thing about living in neighborhood. I miss those sounds. Makes a person feel as tho all is well in your world. Are your legs all white? What color did you use on your toes?
    Gotta go, chickens are up very early wanting out of pen. Happy days
