Skinny Marg 2.0

Dini, Sherry, and Chuck had an intervention with me. Message received: the Minute Marg - Skinny Edition is bad. In my defense, I always planned to tune it. Chuck rolled up his sleeves and together we reworked it. Acidity was the issue; that has been corrected. Goodbye Cointreau, hello vodka; that means even less sugar! Check it out:
  • 4.5 oz tequila (I still recommend Altos Reposado)
  • 4 oz water
  • 1 oz vodka
  • Juice of one lime
  • .5 tsp Crystal Lite lemonade powder
  • Salt (Chuck recommends Maldon salt)
Mix all ingredients except the salt, making sure the powdered lemonade dissolves completely. Pour into two rocks glasses full of ice and top with two shakes of salt, directly into the drink.

This is better – promise.
