You know Saturday is the best day to enjoy a little something extra. My clients have worked hard all week and on Saturday, they’ve worked their largest muscle group (legs). They’ve torched calories and are burning fat so if they’d like to have something a little extra and it fits within their macros, Saturday is the day to go for it. For me, that’s either a donut (no judgment), chips and guac, a great bottle of wine, or one of my favorite drinks, the skinny spicy margarita.

Prep time: 10 MinTotal time: 10 Min
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice (fresh makes a HUGE difference in taste)
- 1/2 large green jalapeno pepper, sliced thin.
- 4 ounces silver tequila.
- 2 ounces honey.
- 2 tablespoons sea salt.
- 2 lime wedges for garnish.
- 2 sprigs cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In the bottom of a pitcher, muddle the jalapeno slices with the lime juice. 10-12 presses with a muddler or the back of a spoon will work.
- Add the tequila and honey, stir to combine thoroughly – or until all the honey is dissolved.
- Pour the sea salt in the bottom of a small bowl. Dip the top of each glass in the margarita mixture, let it drain off, then press the top of the glass into the bowl of salt. Gently tap the glass with your hand to knock off any excess.
- Fill each glass with fresh ice and pour in the margarita mix.
