Nothing beats a good homemade margarita.
I saw this recipe on Kristin Cavallari‘s Snapchat (kcavsnaps) and knew I had to try it for myself.
I’m not a big sparkling water person—and my tequila days are long over—so I was skeptical about these, but after trying this “healthy” margarita recipe I’m obsessed!
These all-natural margs have no processed sweeteners and are much lower in sugar and calories than traditional margaritas. They’re so light and crisp, and the fresh lime juice perfectly balances out the tequila, with just the right amount of maple syrup to give it some sweetness. (Make sure you look for 100% pure grade A organic maple syrup.)
Plus, they are EASY to make. If you’ve got all the ingredients on hand, you’ll have a fresh margarita ready in minutes. (Note: The exact proportions may slightly differ from Kristin’s, but after experimenting with the ingredients I found this combo to be the best.)
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, these “healthy” margaritas will be perfect for your at-home fiesta. Pair it with this recipe for the Best Guacamole Ever.
Cheers!
