Low-Calorie Margaritas ... in Mason Jars

I was having a little Cinco de Mayo dilemma …

Because when I think of Cinco de Mayo, I think Margarita.  In all its lemon-limey and tequila deliciousness.  On the rocks.  With salt.

Problem is, the calories don’t exactly fit neatly into my new “wear pants with a zipper” diet plan …

… and can I just tell you that those two days of 80+ degree weather here in Chicago last week has really reinvigorated that “wear pants with a zipper” diet plan.  Which I probably need to amend to “wear shorts with a zipper” diet plan …

So when I came across this 115 calorie Margarita recipe, I just couldn’t resist making some for me …

… and sharing the recipe with you, of course!

115 Calorie Margarita

Source:  Cooking Channel

I packet sugar free lemonade (like this Crystal Light product here …)

6 oz. diet lemon-lime soda

1 shot tequila

1 ounce lime juice

Just mix it all together and pour over ice.

You can even mix up a batch or two and put them in mason jars on ice.  Just shake it up and enjoy!

Salud!
