1 oz of your favorite tequila
1/5 oz. of Grand Marnier (or your favorite orange liqueur)
1/2 lemon, squeezed & muddled
1/2 lime, squeezed & muddled

Muddle the lemon & lime, then add it all plus the liquor to a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Strain over rocks in a cocktail glass. Garnish with lime wedge.

Seriously, the best margarita ever. And just over 100 calories. Enjoy!

What's your favorite?

    We always make these classic ones at home:

    Per serving:
    3 T tequila
    2 T Triple Sec or other orange-flavored liqueur
    Fresh-squeezed juice from 2 limes
    Ice and/or water to taste

    No sugar or other sweetener. No mix. Once you make them with fresh-squeezed juice and no mix, you'll never go back!

    this probably sounds gross but vodka + diet red bull + diet orange soda.
    Also do vodka with various flavors of crystal lite and whiskey w/ diet pepsi. OK now I sound like a drunk. : )

    Skinny girl is surprisingly good...

    I struggle with alcohol, knowing its empty calories yet enjoying it... (usually within reason don't worry).

    A glass of chardonnay is what I usually indulge with these days, still has more calories than I thought it did though.

    Sometimes, I'll treat myself to a white russian, (vodka,kahlua, supposed to be cream but I use skim milk)... but that one is worse.

    Beer, if more than one starts to get calorically prohibitive...lol.

    I wonder for weight loss, if I'd be better off with hard liquor with zero calorie mixers, vs chardonnay/light beer.

    That's why I went looking for a good margarita. I like wine, and will sometimes have a vodka with soda or a light lemon drop (i.e., no sugar). White Russians are so far in my past I can't imagine them anymore! ;c)
