Save Calories with this Skinny Margarita Recipe

This Skinny Margarita recipe has only 100 – 140 calories versus the 500 calories for the Classic Margarita! It’s the sugar mixer that adds all of the calories and this is made with fresh lime juice instead. The calorie range is primarily based on the type of tequila that you use. This is my Living Frugal Tips take on the “official” ready-made Skinny Girl Margarita recipe that comes pre-bottled. My version is equally low in the calories and tastes just as great!
