Who doesn't love a good margarita? They were always my favorite alcoholic bevy (I'm on a long term [maybe forever!] break from the booze), but they never left me feeling very good the next day. I am, however, a former margarita devotee and I know all too well how even a drink or two can disrupt sleep and leave you dragging the next day. Low energy, foggy brained and just feeling less than awesome, anyone? I know I don't have time for that!
Good news though! That doesn't mean you have to miss out on the refreshing, citrusy flavor of a good 'ol margarita! This zero-proof recipe is my way to enjoy all the classic margarita taste without the unwanted effects. It's also low in sugar, making it a win-win for your taste buds and your well-being.
Let's fiesta!
INGREDIENTS:
~1.5oz any zero proof tequila (Zero proof tequila is available at most large liquor stores or can be purchased online. I like Ritual and Nkd distillery)
~3oz macro friendly marg mix (I love this Casamigos one from Williams Sonoma!) Tres Agaves also makes a good one!
~1-2 T lime juice
~Club soda (or sparkling water - I used La Croix Limoncello!)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Add the first three ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake.
2. Pour into a glass filled with ice (salted rim optional but I love it!)
3. Top with a bit of club soda and stir
4. Add lime wedge for garnish
Enjoy a nice cocktail and zero negative effects of alcohol!
