Spice Free Paleo Skinny Margarita
Bright, citrusy, and genuinely refreshing, this margarita is the kind of drink that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. The sweetness comes entirely from a quick honey syrup made with just honey and water ā no flavored syrups, no pre-mixed bottles, and absolutely nothing that could sneak in unwanted heat or seasoning. Fresh lime juice and a splash of orange juice do all the heavy lifting on flavor, giving you that classic tart-sweet balance without any additives. Blanco tequila keeps things clean and crisp, which is exactly what you want when the ingredients are this simple and pure. A vigorous shake over ice chills everything down fast and gives the drink that satisfying frosty finish. Whether you rim your glass with coarse salt or keep it plain, this one is easy to batch up for a crowd or shake together for a quiet evening at home.
