How to Make Zero-Point Margarita Mix

Zero-point margarita mix is a great alternative to the usual high-calorie cocktail. Most margaritas have a lot of calories because they're made with sweet-and-sour mix or traditional margarita mix, both of which contain a lot of sugar. With zero-point margarita mix, you can enjoy a margarita without worrying about your waistline. Serve this delicious low-calorie margarita to guests and they won't be able to taste the difference.

Things You'll Need

• 24 oz. Fresca diet soda
• 2 individual-size packets of Crystal Light lemonade drink mix
• 6 oz. tequila (optional)
• Lime wedges (optional)
• Pitcher
• Glasses
• Ice
• Spoon

Instructions

1. Open two 12-oz. cans of Fresca diet soda and pour it into a pitcher.

2. Pour two packets of Crystal Light lemonade sugar-free drink mix into the pitcher of Fresca and stir. The zero-point margarita mix is now complete.

3. Add 6 oz. of your favorite tequila to the pitcher and stir. The tequila adds points, so if you want to keep your margarita non-alcoholic and zero points, skip this step.

4. Put ice into four cocktail glasses and fill them with the margarita.

5. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't add tequila, the margarita is zero points. If you add tequila, the margarita is two points per glass.

• You can use a generic brand of lemonade drink mix instead of Crystal Light, just make sure it's zero calories.
