Perfect Skinny Margarita

It’s like I’ve been waiting my whole life for someone to make me a perfect skinny marg. No one can ever do it! It’s either way too simple, like just tequila & lime, or there’s nothing skinny about it, and they hope I don’t notice. So, here I am with my best ever skinny margarita! And yes, it’s basic, but hunny so am I.

All that I have in here is fresh citrus juice, tequila and salt. The salt IN the marg is key, btw. I prefer to use a gold (reposado or añejo) tequila, but a silver will do ya just fine too. Whatever ya got. I tend to like my cocktails stiff, ah-em. So, start with the 4 shots, and work your way up if you’re a professional, like me.

Perfect Skinny Marg.

Here she is world… Makes 4 margs.

• Juice of 1 grapefruit

• Juice of 1 small orange

• Juice of 4 juicy limes

• 4-6 shots of tequila (measured in a regular short shot glass)

• Big pinch of salt, plus extra salt for the rim.

• Ice

In a large shaker (or pitcher or bowl or whatever you have) fill halfway with ice. Squeeze all of your citrus juices and pour over the ice. Add tequila and a pinch of salt. Shake/stir, whatever you fancy. Rim each glass with a leftover lime, and dip into salt. Add ice to each glass and pour marg over the ice! You got a perfect skinny marg!!
