If you know me even a little bit, you know that I do love a good drink! No beer or wine for this girl though. I will do an occasional glass of white wine from time to time (preferably Moscato) but would rather have a fun and tasty mixed drink. And my most favorite of all...the Margarita :) You will also come to learn that if there is a "skinny" version of a drink, you better believe that is what I am ordering. My husband makes fun of me because I will pay $7.00 for a skinny margarita when the house margarita is on special for $2.50.
Since going out to drink can be quite pricey, I like to make drinks at home. Plus, no need to worry about driving. And like always, I will come up with a skinny version of my favorites. Since I wasn't running out to the liquor store just for this blog, I just used what I already had. Here are just a few of the many skinny drinks I have come to love! Maybe you will try one out at your New Year's Party tonight?

If you just so happen to be dating the guest bartender you can just have one big drink to make it easier on everyone.
You really can have your Margarita and drink it too :)
