Skinny Mixed Berry & Cherry Margarita

February 15, 2016 Amanda Plott

As the weather continues to warm up here and with spring drowning nearer, I thought it would be a great time to get a new skinny fruit cocktail out there. Margaritas are one of my favorites. Why? Because they are so easily made to be a skinny drink, plus you can get your fill of fruits in there too!

This skinny margarita is easy to mix up, and what's better is that it's full of some good stuff. Not just fruit either, but probiotics as well! It's light, bubbly, and perfect for the nice warm afternoons that we're having here in central Texas...

Skinny Margarita Cupcakes

I'm getting it done.

We have one more family birthday left this summer and then we're pretty much done for the year! Almost all of my immediate family has summer birthdays, so it get's a little punchy around here in the warmer months.

This past weekend we celebrated my mother's birthday in true Tex-mex style. We went out to eat a proper Tex-mex meal and I was left in charge of the cupcakes. A few months back my mom had specifically requested margarita cupcakes, so I immediately went to work with putting a proper recipe together for one.

What I ended up with was nothing short of one of the most amazing boozy cupcakes ever...

Skinny Mimosarita

I'm a huge fan of mimosas. It's one of my most favorite brunch drinks! I think the first time that I ever had one was many many years ago on my parent's boat on one of our Sunday-Funday weekend excursions around the local lake at the time.

Love at first sip!

So what in the world is a mimosarita? Well, since I'm sticking with my Cinco di Mayo theme this week so I didn't want to go for the typical mimosa or margarita. Instead, I decided to go with a mimosarita! So what is that? It's basically a combination of a mimosa and a margarita; made with limeade instead of orange juice. The best of both worlds...
