It is no secret that I love my cocktails. Especially a cold crisp margarita on a hot day. This is especially convinient since I live in South West Louisiana where is it hot 11 months out of the year. So a good margarita recipe is very important. As I get older I have become very picky about my margarita. When ordering at a restaurant I usually ask if they use a mix and if it is I order a glass of wine instead. Frozen and the color of a green popsicle...usually tastes just like a green popsicle. I have also had some in a glass the size of a fish bowl that probably had 400 + calories....while it tastes awesome who wants to consume that in one drink. I have tried the "skinnygirl" margarita and must say that it left me wanting to make my own margarita....so I did. I hope that you decide to try it out for yourself and let me know what you think. I also listed a recipe for what I call the Cajun Margarita because it is sweetened with Steens Syrup which is made in Abbeville, LA and I must say it makes a delicious drink.
