If I do not have a glass of red wine in my hand, I can almost promise you that I'm drinking a spicy skinny margarita. Its refreshing, its icy, its salty yet tart and it just feels like SUMMER!

Which I could use a little bit of right now! My version of a skinny margarita includes a secret step that really makes it BOMB! So keep on reading to get to the best skinny spicy margarita recipe. It's the only one you'll ever need. Trust me!

So why make a SKINNY margarita?

To me, the leading contriubting factor to my hangovers are SUGAR. If I have drinks loaded with sugar its no doubt that I'm feeling like a truck hit me the next day. Even if I just have one.

Sugar really affects me. Margaritas were the worst culprit. You can have a few too many while downing Sheet Tray Nachos or Skinny Fiesta Dip on the patio with friends. So I knew I needed a fresh spicy skinny margarita without too much sugar. This spicy & tart margarita recipe is the ticket!

What do I need for a spicy skinny margarita?

First, my version of spicy "skinny margarita" means no processed sugar and NO pre made mix.

Let's keep this light and fresh shall we? So I like to use a blue agave nectar. It's smooth and VERY sweet so it doesn't require a lot.

Also fun fact, agave sugars are fermented to make tequila. So it just makes sense! Lime juice, fresh! GOOD tequila, it doesn't need to be the best, but not the bottom shelf. My absolute favorite is Milagro.

Spicy Skinny Margarita Ingredients

  • 1 oz Milagro Tequila
  • 2 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
  • ice
  • salt
  • agave nectar

How to mix the perfect spicy margarita

  2. Pour over fresh ice & top with sparkling water. Enjoy!
