Promise me this: you will never purchase "Margarita Mix" again, okay? That ecto cooler colored, corn syrup filled fluid is not good for you! And you know what, it tastes like Mountain Dew.  Sorry, Bethany Frankel, but your bottled Skinny Girl Margarita falls into this category as well (although it most certainly contains aspartame and not corn syrup).

If you are into the Dew we can't be friends anymore, sorry.

Just Say "NO!"

 

Doesn't that look better?

Recipe for Erin's Margaritas:

Triple Sec: forget it.  You don't really need it.
Lemon Lime Seltzer: obtain it
Tequila (any kind, preferably silver)

1. Pour into a glass full of ice
2. Top with lemon lime seltzer

enjoy!

Feeling fancy? Add some fresh lime, a splash of OJ, grapefruit juice, or agave nectar
