Turmeric Free Paleo Skinny Margarita
Bright, citrusy, and refreshingly light, this margarita is the kind of drink that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. The sweetness comes from a quick honey syrup made with just honey and water ā no processed simple syrup or mystery additives lurking in the mix. Fresh lime juice and a splash of orange juice do all the heavy lifting on flavor, so every sip is clean and vibrant without anything artificial getting in the way. Blanco tequila keeps things crisp, and shaking it all over ice until the shaker frosts over means you get that perfectly chilled, slightly diluted balance that makes a great margarita sing. Rimming the glass with coarse salt is optional, but it adds a savory contrast that really makes the citrus pop. It's the kind of cocktail you can feel good about pouring for a crowd, knowing exactly what went into every glass.
