How To Make a Skinny Ginger Lime Margarita

I love a cocktail on the lighter side. If you are not the biggest fan of super sweet or sugary drinks, this one is for you! First, a few prep steps, grate the ginger with a microplane grater. You can also you a box grater, the pieces of ginger will just be a little bigger. Then juice the limes, I use this small juicer for making cocktails. So easy plus it has measurements on the side!

Ingredients needed for Skinny Ginger Lime Margaritas

Ok, add ice to your glasses and to your cocktail shaker. Add the tequila, agave nectar, lime juice and ginger to the shaker. Shake really well, if you don’t the agave may sink to the bottom.

Pour evenly between the two glasses of ice and top with the lime sparkling water. If you don’t have lime sparking water, you can use plain sparkling water or club soda.

Garnish with a lime wedge and more grated ginger, if desired.

Hope you enjoy! Cheers!
