:: Skinny Pomegranate Margarita ::

It’s Margarita Monday, better yet it’s Cinco de Mayo! Let’s shake it up a little with a Skinny Pomegranate Margarita that is sure to make you do a little cha cha after your first sip! Hey, did I mention I LOVE margaritas? If you don’t know that already, it is my favorite adult beverage. I love that they are the perfect combos of salt and sweet, and I love them fresh….no sweet and sour mix for this girl.

In fact, it’s really hard for me to judge Mexican food, as I have been spoiled by my Grandmother’s. I base my liking of Mexican Restaurants on their margaritas, and their chips and salsa. Aren’t you thinking you might need a little of both today? I know margaritas can a little more caloric than most fun beverages, but this Skinny Pomegranate Margarita will leave room for you to enjoy this Mexican Fiesta!

I started making my homemade margaritas on the skinnier side a few years ago. Instead of the traditional tequila and sweet and sour mix, this margarita recipe is lightened up with fresh lime juice, sparkling water, pomegranate limeade, and a small amount of fresh margarita mix. Yes I know, margarita mix….it’s a must today, because if you haven’t heard already….NEWS FLASH, the price of limes have gone up. There’s a lime shortage, can you believe that?! Time to plant a lime tree… but before I do that, let me tell you how to make one of these tasty concoctions so you can go and enjoy your Cinco de Mayo!
