Margaritas are more than just a refreshing tropical drink. They represent celebration and fun and unfortunately very many calories. According to most diet programs, margaritas are among the highest calorie drinks. But they're so delicious! So instead of giving them up altogether if you're on a diet or just calorie-conscious, try this calorie-trimmed version that will quench your margarita craving and cut back on calories!

on 7/4/2008 Each ounce of Tequila, Triple-Sec, and Sweet-and-Sour Mix has an average of 75, 64, and 25 calories per ounce, respectively. Therefore, the component that has more calories, on average, per ounce is the Tequila. Now if you are asking because you want to reduce the amount of calories in your Margarita, you can only work replacing the Triple-Sec or the Sweet-and-Sour Mix (Margarita without Tequila is something else…) In the market you can find low-cal Sweet–and-Sour and you can used diet Lime Soda instead of the Triple-Sec. Don’t forget the ice and salt, which will work toward making the whole experience feeling like the real deal. “Disfrutalo…”
