… 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

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!
