Skinny Tropical Melon Margarita
This Skinny Tropical Melon Margarita is for all my girls out there! Low calorie, perfect amount of sweetness, refreshing, and overall one of the best margaritas I've had. With a few simple ingredients, you will have two perfect cocktails for you and your bestie.
Forget jalapeño, I am officially claiming this as the margarita of the summer. Better yet, the overall cocktail of the summer. Imagine this - my broccoli salad, antipasto salad, spinach feta stuffed mushrooms (because they're freaking amazing), jalapeño watermelon salsa, alaskan rockfish or cilantro lime shrimp tacos paired with these skinny tropical melon margaritas. That makes for the perfect summer barbecue or dinner with the family on a warm summer night. Does anyone else forget what a warm summer night feels like? I'm craving it right now!
Skinny Tropical Melon Margarita
Here's what you'll need:
- Chamoy - I found some sugar free, zero calorie chamoy that is just delicious! It comes in a pack with a bottle of tajin so if you're looking for both, I've linked them on my Amazon and it's under $10.
- Tajin - I am a tajin over salt on the rim girl forever. I love any kind of spice so this always takes my margaritas to the next level.
- Tropical Melon Mix - Oh my gosh - this is bursting with flavor. I know a lot of people don't like the taste of "chemicals" but this does not have that at all. I even got an outsiders perspective. It is so dang good. Thanks Walmart for coming through on this flavor packet!
- Limes - Fresh lime juice is always my first option but if you need to, feel free to use the artificial flavor.
- Tequila - Some good, cheap tequila options are Espolòn or Arette. If you're not drinking or sober, you need to try Ritual Zero Proof tequila (non-alcoholic).
- Water
- Ice
Equipment
- Shaker Cup - A basic cocktail shaker works but if you want to get fancy, there is a cute glass one on amazon. If you're all about the aesthetics.
- Jigger
- Margarita Glasses
- Lime Squeezer
If you don't already have bar kit, I'd highly recommend it to make it much easier to make yummy cocktails. It's a kitchen necessity honestly. Even for mocktails.
