+ 2 oz tequila вЂ“ I like Casamigos Blanco for my margaritas, but Espalon is good for cocktails as well and really affordable. Cutting down on the sweetener and using freshly squeezed fruit juice вЂ“ which also has sugar, I have to add вЂ“ which be a lot easier on your body. All of this sugar is what ultimately leads to hangovers and major headaches the next day. Most margarita recipes call for 1 ounce of sweetener per drink вЂ“ that is A LOT of sugar, think a shot glass worth.

I make mine at home to taste and donвЂ™t usually measure the amount of sweetener (we use agave), but I would estimate it is about a teaspoon, if that. If youвЂ™re a little more particular, you will want to be specific about how much sweetener. If youвЂ™re at a bar or restaurant and donвЂ™t want to drink tequila on the rocks (the вЂњskinniestвЂќ drink but not the easiest to consume), you can always ask for a margarita with lots of fresh lime juice and to go easy on the sweetener.

The second change is to go easy on the sweetener. YouвЂ™re also cutting out the added sugar and alcohol, which is a major bonus in my book. ItвЂ™s a small change but you will notice the difference immediately вЂ“ I promise you wonвЂ™t miss the liquor AT ALL. The secret ingredient in ours is freshly squeezed orange juice rather than orange liquor (typically Triple Sec or Cointreau). ItвЂ™s a little more effort, but honestly SO worth the squeeze. The key to a good skinny margarita is to go easy on the sweetener and use FRESH juices. So with that said, here is my insanely easy but so refreshing spicy (skinny) margarita recipe. There are so many things that can go wrong with a margarita, so once you find a recipe you like itвЂ™s worth asking the bartender very, very nicely if theyвЂ™ll make it the way you prefer. IвЂ™ve had so many variations of this drink over the years, I honestly avoid it at most places unless I know they do it well. Perfecting our recipe at home has been a game-changer. They are SO good with chips & salsa/guac and just scream summertime. The best part is how easy they are to make! I am the furthest thing from a mixologist but I can whip one of these up within minutes. These are light and refreshing, I honestly donвЂ™t even care that theyвЂ™re вЂњskinnyвЂќ вЂ“ I just prefer my margaritas this way! I swear these also donвЂ™t give me any hangovers (as long as you donвЂ™t have too many!).ДЄ spicy skinny margarita my go-to drink for girlвЂ™s nights, date nights, sitting outdoor, honestly so many situations! ItвЂ™s the ideal drink, in my opinion. These are not your typical syrupy and overly sweet margaritas you get at your local Mexican restaurant. IвЂ™m not the biggest cocktail fan as I generally find them to be too sweet, but I absolutely LOVE a skinny spicy margarita. For a fun party, whip up a batch of these margaritas with simpleВ appetizers like chips and salsa and quesadillas.В ItвЂ™s the ultimate margarita, and will continue to make your guests happy.Now that the weather is heating up and weвЂ™re still social distancing at home, IвЂ™ve turned to making my favorite drinks at home. This cocktail will become a staple at your house too, because not only is it tasty but it matches up with food easily, too. My friends and family canвЂ™t get enough of this spicy margarita and always request it when they come over.

These subtle flavors enhance the flavor of the tequila without making the drink super sweet or too spicy. Not only is this margarita tasty, but its ingredients showcase the delicious, fresh flavors of jalapeГ±o and blackberry. Today IвЂ™m sharing a Blackberry JalapeГ±o Margarita, which is a perfect drink to make at home. The spice in this cocktail works beautifully, complementing the earthy agave and honey flavors of the tequila while maintaining its spicy presence without overwhelming. It seems that everything I order at the bar or make at home currently has some kind of spicy component, and after trying many different spicy cocktails, I can say with absolute confidence that the best spicy cocktail is a spicy margarita. IвЂ™ve recently become obsessed with cocktails that have a spicy flair. The Story Behind The Spicy Blackberry Margarita
