It’s Cinco de Mayo and you know what that means! Today you have a great excuse to celebrate and enjoy some delicious Mexican food and a frosty margarita. But it’s no secret that the amount of calories in a margarita can be ridiculously high… sometimes higher than an entire meal. That leaves no room for dessert! So today we’re sharing a margarita recipe that has all of the fun without all of the guilt. A Skinny Margarita! With no garnish, salt or triple sec required, the alcohol and sugar content are lower than traditional margaritas—by as much as 200 calories! Get your party started (or should I say fiesta) with this Guilt Free Margarita from Partida Tequila.
Guilt Free Margarita Recipe:
• 1 oz. lime juice
• ¾ oz. pure, organic agave nectar
• ¾ oz. pure spring water
• 1.5 oz. Partida Tequila (Blanco, Reposado or Añejo)
A special thank you to our friends at Partida Tequila for sharing this Guilt Free Margarita recipe with us. Enjoy! Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
I realize cocktail posts are normally better suited for Fridays but the holiday season is in full swing and it has to be 5:00 somewhere!

So after a long Saturday out and about with a 3 month old, I was definitely ready for an adult beverage. Festive, fun and delicious, these tasty holiday cocktails featuring Exclusiv Vodka were just what I needed!
So delicious, these cocktails would be perfect for a Christmas party or New Years Celebration.
