Summer time cocktail that won't pack on the pounds
I saw a video on TikTok (Thank you VRogers17)and she was making a Margarita mix with Limeade and Jalapenos. She got my attention!
The best Skinny Margarita I have ever had!
I immediately sent the video to my Husband because:
1) He loves Jalapenos and I knew he would come home with the ingredients, and:
2) I am on the constant search for the perfect cocktail - low fat, low sugar, great taste
I made one batch with the Limeade and the other batch I made with my Margarita mix that I had on hand - Skinny Margarita Mix. AND WOWZA!
Before we go any further I want to share that - anyone who knows me - you know I LOVE my WINE. I am basically a WINO. However, my husband and I are trying to find our summer bods, and mine is hidden under a winter of chardonnay.
So, after researching the healthiest alcohol to drink on a diet - I know, I know.... the healthiest would be to refrain from drinking alcohol at all, but, really? No..
I found this fantastic Margarita Mix! It only has 10 calories for 4 ounces! And if I make your drink, you only need 1 ounce of mix - Why? Because ICE is a MIXER!

Jalapeno Margarita MIX
Margarita Mix of Choice:
Simply Limeade - more calories but DELISH
3 Fresh Jalapenos
Slice the Jalapenos and put in the bottle with the mixer! - Let marinate / soak for a couple hours - the longer the more flavor the Jalapenos will give the mix!
Or try any of your favorite mixers!
Here is one that is Pre Mixed! Just pour and drink!
