Salutations Steemit Friends!

When I think "summertime sips", the Margarita makes it to the top of my list. In today's post, I'll share with you my recipe for a Classic Margarita Cocktail that’s as easy to make as uno, dos, très!

I prefer my Margarita to be made from fresh and top quality ingredients like silver tequila (100% agave), orange liqueur (such as Patron Citrónge or Cointreau), freshly squeezed lime juice, sea salt flakes and a dash of blue agave nectar.

Good news! You won’t sweat the calories in this tequila cocktail. This Skinny-ish Margarita weighs in at about 200 calories per serving. If you’re really concerned about your caloric intake, just tweak the ratio (more lime juice, less liqueur) to your liking.

I like to serve my Classic Margarita on the rocks with salt. Don't forget to chill your glassware!

So, mi amigo, toss aside that store bought margarita mix and let's get shakin’ and sippin’ some 'ritas!
