Pescatarian Paleo Skinny Margarita
This cocktail is bright, citrusy, and refreshingly light ā the kind of drink that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. Instead of reaching for store-bought sweet-and-sour mix loaded with corn syrup and artificial flavors, you make a quick honey syrup right on the stovetop in under two minutes, which gives the drink a natural, floral sweetness that pairs beautifully with fresh lime and orange juice. Blanco tequila keeps things clean and crisp, letting those real citrus flavors shine without anything muddying the glass. The whole thing comes together in a cocktail shaker with a vigorous shake until frosty, so you get that perfectly chilled, slightly frothy texture that makes a great margarita so satisfying. A salted rim is optional but highly recommended ā that contrast of salty and tart is genuinely hard to beat. It's the kind of cocktail you'll want to make on repeat all summer long.
