Skinny Margarita
I’m a Texas girl and I love a good margarita. Over the years, i’ve grown to really love skinny margaritas because they aren’t as sweet and easier on my thighs. I always keep some Dulce Vida tequila around. They make a lime tequila that is really tasty and makes it super easy to ship together some margaritas. If you like the whole spicy margarita thing, feel free to add in some jalapeños. I cannot stand when cocktails have spicy elements in it. It just seems so backwards to me. I guess its in the same vein that I can’t stand iced coffee. Cocktails should be refreshing and coffee should be hot! Don’t @ me.
You could pretty much substitute the watermelon with any other fruit you have lying around. Oranges or berries would be a nice touch. Hope you treat yourself to a yummy margarita!
