Fit Foodie Margarita

Say hello to our gorgeous skinny margarita recipe that we like to call –> Fit Foodie Margaritas!

Our signature Fit Foodie margarita is made with 4 simple ingredients: lime juice, tequila, ice, and your choice of honey or agave simple syrup!

Why make this marg?

Why not make these margs?! There’s nothing better than a perfectly sweetened citrussy margarita with a salty rim.

• Single-serve and pitcher option – we’re providing both a single-serve option and a pitcher margarita option to serve a crowd!
• Refined sugar-free – our skinny margarita recipe is made without refined sugars OR artificial sweeteners.
• Naturally gluten-free – the ingredients in a margarita are naturally gluten-free. We’re also sharing a vegan option!
• Citrussy and refreshing – if you love citrus, you will fall head over heels for this drink.

What makes a margarita skinny?

Oh the burning question, why is it even called a skinny margarita? Classic margaritas are actually already made with minimal ingredients, so the biggest thing with a “skinny margarita” is to cut the sugar count and if possible, make it sugar free!

Sugar free? Well, refined sugar free at least! We’re big on all-natural sweeteners and try and stay away from the weird fake sugar products at all costs. That’s why you’ll still see a handful of grams of all-natural sugar in our recipe.

We decided not to use a low-calorie sweetener such as stevia, because in our honest opinion, it really takes away from the flavor and authenticity of the drink.

Skinny Marg Ingredients

Lime Juice

Every good margarita begins with fresh, juicy limes. That’s right, none of that pre-packaged lime juice, people. Use real limes and squeeze them right before mixing!

Tequila

There is nothing better than a hangover from bad tequila and that’s why what tequila you buy matters! Spend a little extra dough on high-quality tequila…your hangover will thank you later.

Favorite tequila for margaritas:

Sweetener

Most margaritas (like our frozen marg) call for agave. In this recipe, however, we are switching things up with a honey simple syrup. Good news for you, you can sub the honey for agave 1:1!

• Honey – a nuttier flavor and more pantry-friendly.
• Agave – more traditional and vegan!

Both honey and agave carry around the same amount of calories and sugar. So, whichever one you decide to go with is okay!

But where’s the triple sec? For years we’ve been making our Fit Foodie Margarita sans triple sec. Triple sec is a sweet liqueur that does include refined sugar, which is why we opted not to use it in this recipe.

How to Make Pitcher Margs

Because why wouldn’t you want to mass-produce these margs? In the recipe card below, you’ll see we’re giving a recipe for both pitcher margaritas and a single-serve marg.

We used the same ratio of tequila to lime juice to simple syrup for both recipes. Here’s the equation you need to know: 2 to 2 to 1

• 2 oz. tequila
• 2 oz. lime juice
• 1 oz. simple syrup

So, whether you want to serve 1, 2, or 8, just use that 2 to 2 to 1 ratio!

Simple pitcher directions: Simply, place 6 cups of ice into a large pitcher. Then, add in 16 oz. (or about 2 cups) of freshly squeezed lime juice, 16 oz. tequila, and 8 oz. honey simple syrup. Use a long wooden spoon to mix until combined.

Don’t forget to salt the rim!

Finally, don’t forget to salt your rim for a classic “margarita on the rocks.” Simply pour coarse sea salt onto a plate and tap it a few times to even it out. Then, dip the rim of your glass in water and then into the salt.
