Skinny Watermelon Margarita

This refreshing Skinny Watermelon Margarita is the perfect summer cocktail that’s light and delicious! It’s super easy to make for a crowd with just a few simple ingredients. 

Ah, summer time. How I love you. Long days. Bare feet. Watermelon Margaritas.

Skinny Watermelon Margaritas.

Yes, Ma’am.

Let’s keep it light.

This margarita is made with almost no added sugar. The watermelon in this refreshing cocktail provides all the sweetness we need. The cointreau adds a tiny bit of added sugar but it’s a minimal amount.

Your whole cocktail is going to be 71 calories and 11 grams of (mostly natural) sugar. Sip sip hooray. (Too much? I’m feeling festive over here.)

Speaking of ingredients–here’s what you’re going to need!

Watermelon Margarita Ingredients 

• 6 cups watermelon cubes
