Just got this recipe at a bridal shower and it's awesome.

1 liter ginger ale
1 tub crystal lite (I used raspberry)
8 oz. tequila

Stir it together in an ice cream bucket and freeze. It just freezes slushy because of the alcohol. The girl who gave out the recipe said it should make 8 servings at 100 calories each. They are delicious! I read somewhere that the average restaraunt margarita is 500-600 calories, so this is a much better deal.:drinker:

    I am just going to make my 2nd bucket full of margaritas! Has anyone tried diet ginger ale? How does it taste? That would make the margaritas like no calories.

    My "margarita"

    1-2 oz tequila
    real lime ( the lime juice in a bottle)
    1 packet of splenda
    splash or lime flavored club soda

    I like my glass rimmed with salt, and it gives me more of the "illusion" that I am drinking a real margarita!
