This Skinny Margarita is one of my favorite simple cocktail recipes.
I love margaritas in the summertime (or anytime, really), but I don’t love all of the sugar and excess calories that are usually associated with them. The typical skinny versions of margaritas sound great in theory, but since most rely on artificial sweeteners, a lot of people don’t like how they taste.
As always, I’m all about keeping things good and simple, so my spin on a skinny margarita is a no-fuss, natural cocktail that delivers the refreshing tang of a margarita without all of the guilt. If you’re a margarita purist, this cocktail might not be exactly what you’re expecting. However, if you’re looking for a delicious, refreshing summer cocktail that you don’t need to feel bad about drinking, then you definitely need to try this!
It only requires four ingredients, and you can easily make it in any flavor you desire.

The special twist comes in the form of Italian soda—the kind that’s sold in larger bottles and often comes in unique flavors, from grapefruit to prickly pear (one of my personal favorites). With only 1/2 cup of soda in each drink, it gives the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering.
If you’re having a summer BBQ or get-together, this is a great drink to serve to guests. You can quickly and easily create a “skinny margarita bar.” Just set out a variety of flavored Italian sodas, along with the other necessary ingredients and some instructions, and let your guests make their own personalized drinks to their liking.
