The Skinniest Margarita

1 Comment

Is there anything better than a slightly sweet, perfectly salty, refreshing margarita? I think not. Instead of premade margarita mixes that guarantee TONS of sugar (and a headache) I’ve perfected the super light, but still delicious, margarita. Cheers!

  • 1 can lemon Spindrift sparkling water
  • 1 shot (1-2 ounces) of tequila (my favorite is Casamigos)
  • 3/4 shot lime juice (I like Santa Cruz organic)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
  • 1 lime

To start, coat your glass with salt. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sea salt on a small plate or saucer, slide a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, and spin the rim around in the salted plate. Fill about 1/3 of your glass with ice and add tequila, sparkling water, lime juice, and another lime wedge. If you love that salty goodness like me, add any leftover salt right into your glass and mix. For a spicy version, top with or muddle a few slices of jalapeño pepper. Cheers to a low-sugar, low carb, low hangover marg!

One Healthy BBC

Anyone who has every been to Montauk knows what a BBC is…right?? A BBC is Cyril’s (past uber-popular Montauk staple, not super classy, but insanely popular…RIP Cyril’s…) BBC Stands for Banana Bailey Colada and believe me, they are dangerous. Packed with booze and sugar.

BBCs

But they taste oh so, so good. Well, rest assured, Cyril’s fans, because we’re making the old famous much, much healthier. Here’s how to make ’em:

One Healthy BBC: (makes two servings)

  • 2 frozen bananas (cut into pieces)
  • 1 cup pineapple (cut into pieces)
  • 1 cup coconut cream (or full fat coconut milk, we like Native Forrest Organic)
  • 2 shots rum
  • a few ice cubes
  • optional: 1 teaspoon honey if you have a serious sweet tooth

Simply blend all ingredients together. Add more ice if needed. Garnish with a banana or pineapple slice and enjoy. Cheers to an endless summer!
