This healthy skinny margarita is the best, easiest, low sugar, low carb, and clean eating. In a clear cocktail glass with a diamond pattern is a light yellow cocktail with bubbles from the added soda. The rim of the glass is covered in thick flakey sea salt. The background is a giant green palm plant leaf.

This Skinny Margarita is one of the THE best and easiest I have ever made! It’s a healthier, low sugar twist on a classic margarita while still being citrusy and the perfect summer drink.

In the summer I love trying different drinks that are refreshing, light, and sweet. This skinny margarita is pretty simple and easy to make but tastes AMAZING! Whether you’re at the lake with friends, by the pool, or just hanging out in the backyard, this drink is perfect to enjoy while soaking up some summer sun ☀️

I love using healthier soda in this recipe instead of heavier syrups to still get the citrus, fruity flavor without the additives. It’s such a good way to keep things simple but also to switch up the flavor if you want! If you’re a fan of ordering skinny margaritas while you’re out at restaurants, you’ll want to give making this one a try. Trust me, it might be better than what you usually order 😉

What You’ll Need

Tequila – I prefer 818 Blanco but you can use whatever you like!

How To Make

Add 1-2 shots of tequila and the juice of 2 limes to your cocktail shaker with ice and shake.
Take two plates. On one place honey in a circle the size of the cocktail glass rim and the other the sea salt.
Dip the rim of the glass in the honey and then the sea salt.
Pour the contents of the shaker into the glass and top it off with a healthy orange soda.
