Minute Marg – Skinny Edition

We're all about fresh, high-quality ingredients, but there's no shame in cutting corners to match the cocktail to the moment. And speaking of...when you have only a moment and you're counting calories, let The Libationary scratch that hard-to-reach Margarita itch (makes 2 drinks):

• 4 oz Tequila (reposado, if available...I'm into Altos these days)
• 1 oz Cointreau
• 4 oz water
• 1 Crystal Light Lemonade "on-the-go" packet (about 1 teaspoon of powder)
• Small wedge of lime (1/8 - 1/4 lime; skip this if you're really in a hurry)

Stir powder, tequila, Cointreau, water until powder dissolves, pour into two rocks glasses full of ice. Top each glass with a squeeze of lime juice. Dig a salted rim but don't like the mess? Top with two shakes of table salt, directly into the drink. You're welcome.
