Four ounces is a glass of wine - so for four ounces you are drinking 94 calories - which IS skinny for a margarita. The alcohol in this drinks is 12.7% which is comparable to wine. There are 37.5 calorie in 1.5 ounces of this drink.
It has a good balance between lime and tequila and I don’t have to mix anything. In a shocking moment, I said to my husband, “I would actually drink this.” What? Well, it isn’t sweet. So, I tasted the margarita, and I pronounce it very drinkable. I could continue but I bet the Bethany Frankel fans are going to start flaming me. She probably wouldn’t ride in anything later than a 2011 BMW. Ummmm, yeah, so now I have another reason to hate it because I have nothing in common with Bethany Frankel.įor example, I own a 1984 Honda Accord that I actually like to drive. Skinnygirl drinks are the creation of Bethany Frankel who was made famous by her appearance on “The Real Housewives of New York” on Bravo. You see, I have had a margarita experience involving turquoise water and white sand that will be one of the apexes of my short life. Where have I been? I plunked down my $14 (ouch) and purchased the best seller of the lot the “Skinnygirl Margarita”. He replied, “We sell A LOT of Skinnygirl here. “Do you sell something called Skinny Girl?” I was feeling quite sheepish when I asked. But, I didn’t know what she was talking about until I asked the young man who sells kegs to college students about Skinnygirl. Looking to join the fun, but keep with the smaller waist line. At 90 calories per glass with all those bubbles – how can you go wrong?įor the teenagers who read this site, Snack Girl advocates waiting until the legal drinking age to indulge in alcoholic beverages.One of my readers recently sent me to my local alcoholic beverage establishment with a request.ĭo you think you could do one on drinks for the 4th of July? I have seen the Skinny Girl ads & think hmmm, but would I be better off with a Mike's hard Cranberry Light. My favorite light drink remains sparkling wine. Mixed drinks are hard to make lighter because they typically have sweet juice added. This drink is okay and better than the Skinnygirl cosmo but I still would rather have my own lighter margarita. Guess which one I like better?Īgain, there is a bitter aftertaste (yuck!) and I missed the taste of fresh lime juice. I make my own version of a lighter margarita and it sets me back about 158 calories. The Skinnygirl margarita is made with blue agave silver tequila, triple sec, natural flavors and caramel color and will set you back 124 calories for a 5 ounce serving. I happen to really love margaritas (maybe a bit too much). I think they might be using stevia to help keep the calories down (as well as adding less alcohol). It had a bitter aftertaste that I couldn’t get rid of. I have had my share of Cosmos and this did not compare.
How did it taste? I can tell you that I didn’t like it AT ALL. This drink has less alcohol (and sugar) than the regular version.
A regular cosmo would probably set you back about 212 calories so the Skinnygirl is keeping you skinny. That means a drink in my glass is 113 calories – which is pretty low for a cocktail of this type. The Skinnygirl Cosmo is made with vodka, triple sec and natural flavors and says it is 34 calories for 1.5 ounces. My cocktail glass (see below) holds about 5 ounces. Wine is on average between 8-14% alcohol so think of it as like buying a bottle of wine. The bottle set me back $13 and the drink is almost 10% alcohol. Did you even know there was such a thing as white cranberry juice? It exists!! The white berries are picked a few weeks earlier than the red ones. Right away, I was concerned with the white cranberry Cosmo because it lacked the lovely pink color that I associate with a regular Cosmo. This time, I thought I would take a look at the Skinnygirl White Cranberry Cosmopolitan and the Skinnygirl Margarita and see if they were a good idea for those of us who love a cocktail but hate the calories. A couple of years ago, I wrote a Skinnygirl red wine review in which I advocated for not drinking the stuff. I have been following the Skinnygirl alcohol for a while.
