Looking for a refreshing way to cool off this summer? This skinny coconut margarita is the ticket!
Margaritas are my favorite, but the sugar in them always makes me cringe. I was talking with a friend of mine who always uses La Croix flavors to mix into her favorite beverages for a low-calorie alternative to all the sugar. Genius! I knew right away I wanted to get to work on my bar cart. And thus…my Skinny Coconut Margarita recipe was born! My favorite part is that the skinny margarita ingredients are very likely things that you already have in your kitchen, so no need to go out and buy a ton of new stuff. Are you ready for this delicious summer cocktail? Let’s jump right in with this La Croix cocktail remix!
Skinny Coconut Margarita
Now, let’s be perfectly transparent with one another – this cocktail is absolutely delicious and has become a summer favorite of mine, but don’t go into it thinking that you’re going to be tasting a sugary normal margarita from the bar, because you’ll be sorely mistaken. That’s why using quality tequila for this recipe is so important.
I love a good, smooth tequila, so this recipe is everything I love, but I just want to set realistic expectations!
