really?

I'm making margaritas this weekend, but most of the commercial mixes are loaded with tons of sugar, which i can't have. (not that tequila is much better, but i'd rather drink alcohol calories than sugar calories)

Doesn't taste great, but gets the job done. I'd recommend serving the rest of the folks regular margs, however, lest you get some nasty comments.

5/23/2012 12:00:14 PM

Then make it fresh. Instead of sugar simple syrup, make a Truvia simple syrup. I think I've seen a recipe for it online.

pre-made mixes are anyways

5/23/2012 12:01:21 PM

don't use a mix at all -- fresh lime juice (+ orange liqueur) instead

5/23/2012 12:02:31 PM

seriously

make your own skinny margarita with lime juice, triple sec, and tequila

Except that a skinny margarita still tastes like shit.

5/23/2012 12:03:46 PM

no way...that's the only way I order them...so yummy

5/23/2012 12:04:27 PM

To each their own. And I'm sure you can get use to it. But, IMO, you need that sweet/sour goodness for a good margarita.

And a skinny margarita isn't really going to make a difference in losing weight unless you are on a strict strict diet.

5/23/2012 12:06:13 PM

I only drink sweet alcoholic beverages maybe a dozen times a year, so I go all out. Peppermint Schapps is my eternal vice.

5/23/2012 12:08:22 PM

I just like the freshness...I don't order them for the calories

I'd rather watch my calories elsewhere than in my alcohol intake lol

I challenge Slave to a Rumple Minze drink off:

hey guise I'll be there too

5/23/2012 12:15:36 PM

You can hold Slave's vomit bag.

5/23/2012 12:16:40 PM

or his cock

5/23/2012 12:16:56 PM

My last drunken evening with Jaybee ended with me vomiting fries into my front shirt pocket, so I'm definitely the underdog

That's pretty impressive. It's good to start off with goals. So good job on setting the bar.

5/23/2012 12:19:34 PM

I thought about making my own... I will if I have time.

And yes, i know a regular margarita isn't going to kill me, but I have very specific dietary reasons I cant have an overload of sugar... the alcohol is bad enough by it's self. This is a compromise.

5/23/2012 12:31:10 PM

Few shakes of my Johnson and you'll have he key ingrident you've been waiting for.

5/23/2012 2:34:19 PM

12oz bottle of beer (corona/light, bud/light lime, etc)
12oz can frozen limeade mix
12oz preferred tequila
2qts ice cubes

combine and blend...or if you prefer on the rocks, add another 12oz water and omit the ice, blend, serve

seriously, try it and thank me later...beats the crap out of any mix

you could try saving calories by playing around with less (or no) limeade and use lime juice and splenda/stevia, but i've not tried it and i'll not proclaim the tastiness of such a concoction

[Edited on May 23, 2012 at 2:42 PM. Reason : splenda]

5/23/2012 2:40:17 PM

I think he's trying to avoid the sugary mix

limeade mix doesn't fit in that equation

5/23/2012 2:42:08 PM

^ yeah, i updated it...though the frozen limeade mix has fewer calories than the "real" margarita mix

5/23/2012 2:44:15 PM

I think they sell sugar-free limeade mix as well.

5/23/2012 2:45:02 PM

I had some that was delicious. 2L of diet lemon lime soda, packet of sugar free lemonade (the personal size, used crystal light pure), juice of one lime, and tequila. It was great and not so sugary (I can't have a lot of sugar either, so I'm in the same situation with wanting what little I can have to be in the form of alcohol).

5/23/2012 2:57:34 PM

i ended up getting a bottle of the jose cuervo sugar free stuff... not bad at all!

5/25/2012 8:42:27 AM

put cocktail sauce in it

5/25/2012 8:48:15 AM

like the shit you dip skrimp in?

5/25/2012 9:05:28 AM

forget the margaritas. Just drink the tequila.

5/25/2012 9:59:45 AM

when i was 22, sure.

5/25/2012 10:05:51 AM

because a diet margarita is a refined gentleman's drink

5/25/2012 10:10:54 AM

hey guys i want low calorie booze


BOOZE MEANS HIGH CALORIES YOU STUPID FUCK.

2 ways to view this

1: Calorie, n: approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C

Ok well most food doesn't burn but has lots of calories BOOZE FUCKING BURNS of course it has tons of calories.

2: Before fermentation what is booze? FUCKING SUGAR.

^^hah touche.

this is for a 5-6 hour "rafting" trip down the neuse... I'm not drinking straight liquor for that long.

^read the thread you fucking douche. troll victim

1 oz tequila + diet margarita mix = ~70 calories
1 oz tequila + regular margarita mix = ~180 calories

I'll probably have 5ish of those beverages... I'd much rather end the day with having consumed ~350 beverage calories vs ~900 beverage calories.

Seriously though a pet-peeve of mine...

low calorie beer has no alcohol in it.

fake sugars cause other problems usually but that's up to you (cancer migraines etc.)

an pre-mixed margarita's usually taste like crap

If i were you and had your concerns i'd pre-make some.

1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate i'm sure you can find a sugar free one.
12 fluid ounces tequila (use less for less calories i personally would use 1800 or better)
12 fluid ounces Sprite/7-Up or Water for you, use diet
12 fluid ounces beer use one of the new ultra lights
ice
1 lime, cut into wedges
