It all started at the dollar store yesterday. I saw, for the first time, that they had Crystal light in margarita flavor! Say WHAT?!?! I love Crystal Light, so I don't know how I didn't know about this before? So I had to buy the margarita flavored Crystal Light. Which meant I had to go to the liquor store, which then meant I had to stop by the grocery store and buy limes and margarita salt. :) But it was worth it! And they were yummy!
I had no idea how I was going to turn a Crystal Light packet into a REAL FROZEN margarita. And so I decided to wing it. This is what I did:
I crushed about eight cups of ice in the blender. Then I mixed the entire 2 quart pack of crystal light mix with about two cups of water. Then I blended the ice and the crystal light mixture. You may or may not have to add a little water but wait until the end to add water. I then served my girls a virgin margarita because if you crank up the blender at my house they think they need a smoothie! :) Then I added about 4 oz of tequila and about 3 oz of triple sec. And then I squeezed an entire lime in the mix and blended it all together. Salt glass, pour drink, enjoy!
There are about 65 calories in an oz of tequila and about 100 calories in an oz of triple sec. So the whole shabang had about 560 calories. So that's about 70 calories a cup, which is all my glasses would hold anyway ;) Not too shabby.....
I could have used more alcohol. But since I was going skinny, I didn't get all crazy. And since I drank nearly the entire pitcher of Margaritas and woke up with a LOVELY headache this morning, I think I had more than enough..... Maybe drinking the whole pitcher kinda defeated the point of going skinny.....
I can't wait to make these for our next Pinterest Party!! I didn't snap a photo until I had drank about half my first one.... I had to make sure they were tasty :)
I don't guess I've made a Margarita in a long time because the smell of the tequila brought back some memories..... and I must say I had a nice little trip down memory lane. Oh tequila, my friend and my enemy. You've got me into a few messes and pulled me out of a few holes. But you make me laugh and I haven't lost any important clothing because of you. Just a couple pair of tights, a brand new pair of panties and a left flip flop. I don't drink nearly enough tequila..... Pin It
