My dad is known for his margaritas. Everybody that tries one, cannot help but crave another. He has been a huge influence on my appreciation of a beautifully made margarita [ one that has a tequila bite, not too sweet & evokes a festive feel ]. We threw a birthday over the weekend & he assisted me in creating a boysenberry, low sugar, low calorie margarita that was a delicious hit!
** Makes three skinny margs
3 limes
1 lemon
4 ounces of white tequila [ I like Don Julio Blanco ]
1.5 ounces Cointreau
3 splashes of soda water
1 container of boysenberries
3 chilled glasses
3 handfuls of ice
3 cute straws
Chill two glasses. Take boysenberries and mash up with a fork. Slice up lemon and lime. After chilled, remove glasses. Line rim of glasses with lemon & move the circle of the glass around in the mashed boysenberries. Fill glasses with ice. In a martini shaker, mix blanco tequila, Cointreau, squeezed lime & lemon. Strain contents over ice in prepared glasses. Add a boysenberry & sliced lemon for garnish & splash soda water over each margarita [ make sure you add soda water after — it will blow up in shaker ]. Place straw in each & serve on a fab tray.
