How to Make a Low Cal Teqrantula Cocktail

I'm always trying to find new ways to make delicious drinks easier on the waistline. I am a social drinker, yet I maintain a slim figure because I never go for the Margarita, the red frozen drink or the complicated martini on the drink menu. Here is how to make the Teqrantula, my favorite, easy-to-make, calorie-friendly cocktail. Does this Spark an idea?

Getting 100% agave tequila, is an essential key as you mention. Go for 1800 Tequila brand, or better; it makes a huge differance in the taste. Good recipe idea!Wadester

What a great recipe. I was skeptical myself, however, and hate all those empty calories, so I decided to try it and voila!
