🌿 The Best Skinny Margarita Recipe with Flor de Azar Triple Sec


Low-Calorie, No Refined Sugar, All Flavor.

Looking for the best skinny margarita recipe that doesn’t taste like a compromise? This clean, refreshing take on the classic margarita skips the sugary mixes and artificial flavors in favor of fresh lime juice, premium tequila, and Flor de Azar Triple Sec—a citrus liqueur naturally sweetened with organic miel de agave. This Mexico City made triple sec is full of citrus flavor and natural sweetness, no added sugar necessary!

It’s everything you love about a margarita, with fewer calories and a more elevated flavor profile.


🥇 Why This Is the Best Skinny Margarita


Most “skinny” margaritas rely heavily on bottled lime juice or diet sweeteners—but this one uses only real ingredients:
  • No triple sec packed with sugar
  • No artificial syrups
  • No compromise on taste

Flor de Azar Triple Sec adds a unique floral-citrus complexity with just a touch of natural sweetness from agave syrup—so there’s no need for added sugar.


🧪 Skinny Margarita Ingredient Formula


We keep it simple with this fresh, balanced margarita ratio:
  • 2 oz blanco tequila (100% agave)
  • 1.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz Flor de Azar Triple Sec
  • (Optional: 0.25 oz additional agave syrup if you like a touch more sweetness)
  • Ice
  • Salt (for rim)
  • Lime wedge (for garnish)

At around 160–180 calories depending on your pour, this is a truly satisfying low-calorie margarita that still feels like a treat.
