Bring on the sun !

I found this today,  and while it sounds delish,  I'm fairly sure I can figure out a way to make it less calories... see below for my thoughts... 

Cocktail Of The Week: Malibu® Margarita

From the Easy Breezy menu... discover today the Malibu® Margarita!

This margarita's origin is hazy; locals believe Señorita Margarita traveled to the Caribbean Islands and was inspired by Malibu.

1 1/4 parts Malibu® coconut
1 part Tequila
1/2 part Triple Sec
1/2 part Lime Juice
1 1/2 part Sour Mix
Lime wedge garnish


To start, rub half a lime around the rim of a chilled margarita glass. 
Dip the glass into a plate of coarse salt. 
Put 1-1/4 parts Malibu® Rum, 1 part tequila, 1/2 part triple sec, 1/2 part lime juice, and 1-1/2 part sour mix. 
Shake three times and strain into the glass. 
Garnish with a lime wedge.
Enjoy!
  • First - ditch the Triple Sec - completely NOT necessary
  • ditch the 'sour mix' ... I'd use the MinuteMaid LIGHT Limeade, trader Joe's margarita mix,  or Baja Bob Margarita mix
  • the rest sounds STELLAR !
