Skinny Raspberry Margarita Recipe with 100% Blue Agave Tequila.

May 5, 2014 Mallorie Owens
Skinny Raspberry Margarita Recipe | Mallorie Owens

I didn't mean to do two drink recipes in a row, but it's Cinco de Mayo and I wanted to share this margarita recipe...whatcha gonna do...

If I have a craving for a drink other than a beer or glass of wine, it's pretty much always a margarita that I want. And as much as I love a good sugary margarita from a mexican restaurant, those things are about a million calories. No lie. Dave and I love making margaritas at home, that way we know exactly what's going into it and they're so light and refreshing!

I was really excited when I got the opportunity to grab a bottle of Tradicional 100% Blue Agave Tequila courtesy of Jose Cuervo and share a favorite recipe with you all. I mean, who can say no to free tequila? Certainly not me...

This recipe can be done with or without the raspberries (if you'd like to make a traditional skinny margarita)...both ways are delicious.

Here's what you need ≫≫
2 small limes
1 shot of Jose Cuervo Tradicional Silver Tequila
Splash of Triple Sec
Handful of raspberries (or fruit of choice), we used frozen because fruit doesn't last here in Alaska.
1 small bottle of tonic water
Ice

Directions ≫≫
Squeeze the juice of two small limes into a small glass. Pour the shot of tequila in and add a splash of triple sec.

Fill the glass up with tonic water, but make sure to leave room for your ice and fruit! Mix well. Throw in a handful of raspberries and a few pieces of ice.

You can download the Cuervo History in a Bottle App here and watch a video on the history of Jose Cuervo here, it's quick but has a few fun margarita facts. I actually really enjoyed it, I had no idea Jose Cuervo invented the margarita was that the drink is named after a woman. Sold.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Anyone going to have a margarita tonight to celebrate? If you try mine, please let me know! I hope you all enjoy it. Cheers.

Full disclosure: this post was sponsored by Jose Cuervo, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you've seen my stories lately, you know I’ve been getting IPL Facial treatments to help with my hyperpigmentation (results so far are saved in my profile). I really wanted to add something into my routine that fights my dark spots on a daily basis and have tried products with Vitamin C before that seemed to have no effect on the brightness of my skin or sun spots. This one from @heladerm is a winner! Plus it's all natural and 76% organic with no added fragrances, which I'm realizing lately that is so hard to find. Full review is on my blog (link in bio).
Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ Anyone have fun plans? We started the day with heart shaped pancakes and then took Iris to pick out a big balloon. Tonight Dave is making Ahi Tuna, the perfect simple day with my favs. ✨
All I wanted for my 33rd birthday was donuts from @thedonutfriar and time with my little fam. Today was the perfect quick adventure to Gatlinburg. ☺️✨ If you’re ever in the area, these donuts are amazing and the sprinkle donut is the best I’ve ever had. It’s a cake donut instead of the typical glazed I’m used to with sprinkle donuts and it was sooooo good. 😋 TIP: bring cash! That’s all they accept. Iris picked out the smiley face donut for her first ever donut shop trip! She got a few bites on the way home and definitely approved. 😜
This is how we feel about traveling as a family! 🎉♥️ I ordered all of this fun Disney travel stuff (including the "frozen girlies" outfit) from @burlingtonstyle for Iris to make our flights home from Kansas extra exciting at the beginning of last month. She looked too big rolling her own little suitcase! Burlington has so many great options from newborn to toddler and they are all at a great price point. I think our favorite pick is the Moana backpack, it is such a softest leather and the carrying handle is Maui's Hook. We take it to restaurants, as her carry on, in the car...pretty much everywhere now and stuff it full of colored pencils, paper, stickers, etc. 👍🏼 #ad #BurlingtonBaby #BurlingtonStyle
So happy it’s February so we can brighten up these winter days with birthday celebrations (so many this month for us) and Valentine’s Day! ❤️✨ Thinking I might request a trip back to this fun spot for doughnuts at @thedonutfriar for my bday in a few days. 😍🍩 What’s your favorite celebratory treat?
I’m now on my second bottle of this @junejacobsspa Raspberry Recovery Serum and I love it so much! 😍✨ It's paraben and preservative free and helps get rid of inflammation and redness, two things I definitely struggle with...anyone else? This serum is one of the few skin care items I have (and I own and have tried SO many) that makes my skin feel tighter (in a good way!) as soon as I put it on. 👏🏼 Also, please note this pic was taken when my first bottle arrived in October and I still had bats that Iris made hanging from my ceiling. 😜 #sponsored #skincareroutine #junejacobs #naturalskincare
