Made with all the most potent flavors of the desert- Silver Tequila, freshly-squeezed lime juice, agave honey and those juicy, punchy, jalapeño peppers- this is a colorful reminder of what Summertime is all about.
A light margarita that’s packed full of flavor and spice, this recipe is easy to make, refreshing and tastes even better than it looks.
Arrange lime juice, liquid stevia, and liberal amounts of tequila to create something zesty for this afternoon (arrange a spiced sugar rim for style and flavor bonus points!)
Healthy and hearty, this is a drink that won’t put a strain on your waistline!
There is nothing better than a margarita that bursts with a whole savannah of flavors.
A cocktail that keeps you thin? A flavorful drink that is low in calories? This jalapeños margarita blends together Silver Tequila with Lime Juice, Orange Juice and Agave Nectar to create a tangy bite that is floral, bitter, and pairs well with your diet.
Mix tequila or mezcal (or both!) with lime juice and sugar. Add orange juice to really make things more refreshing.
Jalapeños are sliced into strips and added to the mix to add a bit of zing, or pickled jalapeños for even more of a tangy kick.
If you also enjoy the sweetness of monk fruit, now’s your chance! Mix in some egg whites to give your drink that incredible signature foamy top, and top it off with some Tajin seasoning to give the drink some more kick.
Cantaloupes are delicious fruits- and let’s not forget, very good for you. They’re also a very common ingredient in Mexico.
Pineapples are also a fruit. Wouldn’t they both taste great in a margarita? Yes? Yes.
You’re going to want to try this pineapple margarita recipe from countrycleaver.com- and don’t worry you can find cantaloupe juice in Mexican food aisles in many stores if you can’t get the real thing.
Why not think about other sweet fruits, like guava? Mangoes? Stir in a subtle amount of vanilla essence or vanilla pods to really give this one a sweet and creamy edge.
Another gorgeous skinny margarita drink made from silver tequila, limes, maple syrup, and jalapeños.
This one is very spicy but still brings all the tart energy of the lime and the tequila, as well as something new: a little howdy-do from the other end of the North American continent in the form of rich, smoky Canadian maple syrup.

This recipe is more complicated- but sounds absolutely mouthwatering! Be the envy of the neighborhood with this one, and with none of the guilt of something heavy. Add cilantro to taste.
This Paloma is a refreshing mix made with tequila, grapefruit juice, and strawberries. Fresh basil gives it that zing that is often lost when it is cooked.
This recipe recommends using agave syrup instead of sugar for flavor, and to keep the pounds for creeping one while you’re trying to have fun.
Or, this Paloma has no alcohol at all! If you’re looking to keep things clean but still want all the refreshment of a good margarita, Zero-Proof’s Tequila Alternative recipe is hard to pass up.
Non-GMO and gluten free, this alternative even mimics the burn of tequila!
Another one from this tequila brand, this more refined take on the recipe is worth scouring the stores for some of the more high-falootin’ ingredients.
Sesión Blanco Tequila, Aperol, hibiscus syrup, Watermelon Juice, rosewater, and 3 dashes of Peychauds Bitters, shaken until cold and garnished with just a little grated chocolate (diet starts tomorrow right?) for something maybe a bit more on the decadent side of your summer drinks.
This slimline margarita is perfect if you’re being extra strict with yourself- the recipe simply calls for a bit of honey from the kitchen cupboard to sweeten.
Honey is a natural sugar and won’t settle in your body like the refined stuff that is bad for your health and makes you feel all sick.
This more bare-bones recipe is actually a callback to more traditional margaritas.
Another simple recipe that is sure to wow guests and your taste buds alike, simply add Cointreau and syrup to taste- and the recipe sits better if you allow it to chill in the fridge before you serve. Check it out!
