Now that I know what to expect from the Skinnygirl line, I'll keep it in mind for parties where I know I'll be mixing and mingling rather than sitting down to savor a cocktail. These days I like my buzz without the low rent side effects even if I have to pay a little more. About an hour after I completed this review I got that icky feeling you get from well-drink cocktails, which was a fun flashback to my 20s. The downside is that it's a cheap buzz - which is totally a catch-22. You can pick up a 750ml bottle for right around $10. This bottled cocktail will get the job done. Officially this one rings in at 12.7% ABV and I love it. One shaker = does this have booze? Five shakers = Four Lokos It has a touch of sweet but nothing like you'd expect from a traditional, non-skinny margarita. This is not a sweet margarita so it's perfect if you are a fan of lighter drinks. One shaker = not sweet at all // Five shakers = your teeth may curl But overall, it's a bit of a struggle to drink because every now and then it bites back in that way only cheap booze can. ![]() It has more flavor than I expected from a cocktail billed as being low in calories. This marg has a light taste with just a hint sweet. Here is official my score for the Skinnygirl Margarita: I know I'll catch a good buzz (check) and I won't rack up a lot of calories in the process (check, check). (If you missed my explanation of fuzz, check it out here.) The Skinnygirl Margarita may not be the tastiest margarita I've ever had but it does check off two major boxes in my book. This bottled margarita is light AND boozy! Heck yeah! What this marg lacks in authentic, fresh margarita flavor it makes up for in fuzz factor. Prior to tasting it I was a little worried that it would just taste like a water down margarita. This pre-made margarita does not boast the natural ingredients that some of the other margas I've reviewed do, plus it is famously low-cal, so I wasn't sure what to expect. My default order at the bar is always a skinny margarita so I was hopeful that could be my new at-home fix. I have no idea why - but today's the day. Ready-to-serve cocktails? I know this line has been around forever but I've never tried them. ![]() Have you tried any of the Skinnygirl low calorie, We are going back to my first cocktail love - the margarita !
