I thought this recipe had a great start, but was WAYYY too sweet. However, once I took the original recipe and used club soda instead of diet lemon-lime soda, it was much improved. Definitely not the worst low cal margarita-ish beverage I’ve ever had. I’ll be making mine at home this way from now on. Adding 1/2 oz of triple sec isn’t a bad idea, either… just adds a few more calories.
I love this recipe. I used the lemonade from Trader Jo’s that does not use Aspartame! Awsome!
Fantastic. I quadrupled to make a pitcher and it got rave reviews at a recent party. I agree that you would never know it was low cal!
This was surprisingly good for a “diet” margarita. I followed the recipe exactly, except I added a few drops of orange extract to substitute for the Cointreau which I usually put in a margarita. It added a nice flavor!
Great low calorie drink. I will make this often. You would never know it was a low calroie drink.
I used Sprite Zero for the soda…simply awesome, also I used lemon juice sweetened with stevia, froze the lemon juice in ice cube tray, used in place of some of the ice….Yumm!
OMG! I’ve been making and drinking this super drink for a while! I don’t drink it frozen but WOW does it get my “buzz” on! Thanks food network for bringing HG to Food Network I LOVE HER!
I try to use real lemonade with this recipe and it’s quite tasty, but I the other night I ran out of lemons so I used this new vodka called Voli Vodka that my husband picked up from the store a week ago. It’s made with real lemons and has 25- 40% fewer calories than other vodkas and has electrolytes to keep you hydrated. Talk about an even skinnier margarita than this! Can’t beat it!
skinny margarita, yeah!
Very smooth! i never knew it was a slimmed down drink.
It takes you away!
