Skinny Margarita
To make this, you will first need to create the Agave Sour recipe:
T.G.I. Friday’s Agave Sour recipe:
• 250ml lime juice
• 250 ml lemon juice
• 250ml sugar free syrup (125g Splenda mixed with 12oz hot water)
• 1oz agave/nectar syrup
Method:
Mix thoroughly and keep chilled, this mix will last for three days and can be used for several cocktails.
Skinny Margarita recipe:
• 1 ¼ oz Cuervo Gold Tequila
• 30z Agave Sour (see above recipe)
• Lime slices to muddle
• Garnish: salt rim, lime wedge
Method:
Muddle limes and add ingredients and shake with ice. Wet glass rim and dip into salt. Pour drink into glass through a strainer and add the lime slice to finish.
Adi says: “You can also make a Skinny Blackberry Margarita by replacing the limes with three Blackberries, but still add a lime wedge to garish to add to the flavour.”
