“Everyone loves margaritas, but no one wants the guilt or the calories. That’s why I created the Skinnygirl Margarita. At only 100 calories for a full 4 oz serving, all natural ingredients, no preservatives or artificial colors, lightly sweetened with agave nectar and made with premium Blue Agave clear Tequila, Skinnygirl is the margarita you can trust.” -Bethenny Frankel
The skinnygirl margarita was created by Bethenny Frankel, a renowned natural foods chef, author of the New York Times Best Seller, and star of Real Housewives of New York City. As a chef and mixologist, Bethenny is an expert in taking high calorie or otherwise unhealthy foods or cocktails and making healthier versions of them. In the case of the margarita, this happened to be one of Bethenny’s favorite cocktails. She also knew the typical margarita served in a restaurant had over 500 calories in a 4-ounce serving. So, she created her own recipe for the margarita, which was silver tequila, the juice from three lime wedges and a tiny splash of Triple Sec. She mentioned this recipe on Real Housewives Season 1, after which the most asked question on the Bravo Web Site was, “How do I make a Skinnygirl Margarita?”
