Ingredients
2 oz (60ml) 100% agave Blanco or Reposado tequila
1.5 oz (45ml) fresh lime juice
0.5 oz (15ml) agave nectar (or to taste)
0.5 oz (15ml) filtered water (optional, for dilution)
Lime wedge, for garnish
Coarse salt or Tajín, for rim (optional)
Ice
Instructions
Step 1: If desired, prepare your glass by running a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it into a shallow dish of coarse salt or Tajín. Fill the glass with fresh ice and set aside.
Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, and filtered water (if using). The filtered water helps to dilute the drink slightly without compromising flavor, making for an even lighter skinny margarita recipe.
Step 3: Fill the shaker with ice. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the shaker is thoroughly chilled. This ensures all ingredients are well combined and the drink is perfectly cold.
Step 4: Strain the mixture directly into your prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Discard the ice from the shaker.
Step 5: Garnish your skinny margarita recipe with a fresh lime wedge or wheel. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly balanced, low-calorie cocktail!
Notes
For an extra chilly drink, pre-chill your glasses in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving. Adjust agave nectar to your preferred sweetness level. For a spicy kick, muddle a few slices of jalapeño in the shaker before adding other ingredients.
