After enduring another 90+ day during “June Gloom”, I needed a margarita to cool me down. And while a margarita never properly fits into any diet, it is a treat that can’t be missed. The traditional margarita can contain around 300 calories and who has only one margarita?

This recipe lightens up the calories but keeps all the flavor and tequila you need for a good time.

Recipe 

• 1 cup lime juice
• 1 cup water
• 10-20 drops liquid stevia to taste
• 6 oz tequila
• 2 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice
• Ice
• Salt for glass rim (optional)

Instructions 

1. Stir all ingredients together
2. Taste for sweetness
3. Add more stevia if needed
4. Serve over ice in a lightly salt rimmed Margarita Glass
