Curious if yall know if any semi-healthy easy margarita recipes? I am growing tired of ranch waters.

The less ingredients the better.

1.5 oz silver tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz lime juice. If too tart add a little light agave syrup.

A normal margarita…
3 parts tequila
2 parts Cointreau
1 part lime juice

official iba is 50/20/15, in ounces that's about 1.7/0.7/0.5, which is pretty small. If you make a double, it's roughly 3.5/1.5/1

But 10/5/3 is easy to follow in ounces if you want to make a small batch for the evening.

OP, without the 3 ingredients mentioned here, you don't have a margarita. There isn't a way to make it with less.
Just skip the sugar/agave if you want calorie reduction, or make it a 'lite' by using less alcohol in the ratio.

mine are usually 2/1/1. I don't typically add any simple syrup or anything to sweeten, but will if someone requests....but that also means they are probably use to drinking crappy margaritas that are full of sugar.

lime juice absolutely needs to be fresh.

The base:

• 3 oz tequila Your favorite brand
• 2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1 oz Topo Chico Water

For the sugar free orange syrup:

• 3 tablespoon water
• 3 teaspoon granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon orange zest

Garinsh with Salt & Lime Wedges.

Tommy's Margarita is my go to.

Least cal will be ranch water (homemade not seltzer). Maybe a bit more lime to get more punch of marg flavor.

But as stated - marg is a marg.

In the scheme of drinks, a classic margarita isn't that bad of a thing. The only difference between a light version and a "normal" when you're out is whatever sugar or sweetener is added.

The first few responses to the OP nailed it. Lt. Joe Bookman that sounds like a nice ratio I need to try that.

Tonight I did a like a 2:1:1, maybe more like a 4:2:3 though tequila:Cointreau:lime juice. Added a tinge of honey and egg white and blended to add some frothiness to it for ****s and giggles.

Nice call on the egg white. Never thought of that in a marg.

Might try the aquafaba trick and see how that works.

What's aquafaba?

It's the liquid in canned chickpeas. It replaces eggs in a lot of baked vegan recipes, so I'm guessing its replacing egg whites.

Ah I remember hearing about that. Couldn't place the word though.

My margarita is:

2oz Respado Tequila
1oz Triple Sec
1oz fresh lime juice.
Ice

Rim the glass in Tanjin.

I just served about 50 margaritas tonight. Took the easy way out. Kirkland brand mix, with hornitos reposado. About 2.5 to 1 ratio. Seemed to be a bit.
Costco had the hornitos for $28 for a 1.75L.

Had about 4 shots of this stuff it's not too bad.

Same here.

Health is usually out the window when I'm consuming them….I don't always drink margaritas my friends, but when I do, they're in a fish bowl….
