High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Paleo Skinny Margarita
Bright, citrusy, and genuinely refreshing, this margarita is the kind of drink that makes a Tuesday feel like a vacation. Most bottled cocktail mixes and store-bought margarita syrups are loaded with high fructose corn syrup, which means a lot of pre-made options are simply off the table. Here, a quick two-ingredient honey syrup does all the sweetening ā just honey and water stirred together over low heat until smooth. Fresh lime juice and a splash of real orange juice bring the citrus punch, so nothing here is artificial or processed. Blanco tequila keeps the flavor clean and bright, letting those fresh ingredients actually shine. A salted rim and a lime wedge finish it off beautifully, and the whole thing comes together faster than a trip to the bar. It's the kind of cocktail you'll want to shake up every weekend.
