Notes
- Fresh citrus juice is a must for this skinny margarita recipe. The fresh lime and orange juice adds a brightness to your cocktail that bottled citrus just can’t match.
- A plate or shallow bowl is best for salting the rim of your glass. This helps prevent wasting excessive salt.
- Adjust the amount of tequila and agave to fit your taste, some may enjoy it sweeter but some may enjoy it more tart!
