2 and 5 points Margaritas

Well, and we don't stop enjoying the same things, we do them less often or we make those points go down.



Portia gave me this wonderful 5 points Margarita (the points came from putting the recipe in Weight Watchers recipe builder) a serving and makes 4 servings.



1 tablespoon Splenda
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1/4 cup Triple Sec
1 cup Gold tequila
Ice

1 lime
coarse salt

To salt the glasses, rub the rim of the glasses with a cut lime and then lightly press them into a plate of kosher salt to coat.

Combine the lime juice and Splenda. Pour into a blender. Add Grand Manier, Triple Sec, tequila and a big handful of ice. Pulse the mixture in the blender to the consistence you want. Some like the ice finer, while others like the ice a little "lumpier". Pour into glasses and serve.
Makes four servings.
Add more ice to make a less intense drink. I haven't tried this but a friend did--add low calorie soda water to make a "spritzer."



And for a 2 points Margarita you have 2 options:

1)

Mix 6oz of Sierra Mist or 7up cero

1 shot of tequila

1 serving of a lemonade powder (Crystal light or similar)

2 tbsp lime juice

1 cup of ice

enjoy



Another 2 points alternative is to buy the

Sugar free Baja Bob mix for Margarita (0 points)

1 shot of tequila

ice

enjoy
