Skinny Blood Orange Margarita Recipe (2024)

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

It's margarita season, which usually means my calorie intake due to having drinks on the patio is likely to be high. No worries...I'll be enjoying this Skinny Blood Orange Margarita Recipe this year and leaving calorie counting to someone else!

I love having margaritas, but sometimes feel guilty about the amount of sugar in them. This is my solution for that! The added taste of the sweet, almost berry like blood orange makes up for the lack of simple syrup or other sugar. I just add a drop of stevia to give it one more added note of natural sweetness and leave the rest to mother nature! These drinks are perfect for patio drinking, sharing with friends and celebrating Cinco de Mayo! I hope you love them as much as I do!
