I do love a good margarita and this skinny version sounds even more delicious than proper margaritas. Using fresh orange juice in there sounds like a great idea – will be making these asap!

I tried this over the weekend (maybe from an older post?) and I WAS lacking something! Splash of water sounds worth a try….also I had to make 2 servings and transport them so I think it also lacked the salt around the rim. Looking forward to trying them again!

Obsessing over the skinny margarita bar! I often make a skinny marg with crystal light for a short cut but I am in love with this for entertaining purposes!
