Skinny Orange Margaritas
Lovely Lauryn Evarts gifted me her amazing The Skinny Confidential Fitness and Lifestyle Guide and I couldn't wait to try out her skinny cocktails. Warm days in February definitely call for an orange skinny margarita- I mean it can't get any better than this. This margarita tasted so good, mainly because I used fresh ingredients- it really does make a difference. The flavors were bold and it was absolutely refreshing. Go on and grab your cocktail shaker, and trust me this recipe will surely become your next go-to margie-poo.
