Bethenny Frankel continues to amuse us with her quick wit and blunt sarcasm on Bravo’s Bethenny Getting Married. Her energy is contagious, and her lifestyle is enviable. It seems she can indulge in everything while staying fit and trim. We had heard of her magic cocktail, The Skinny Margarita, and then were even more surprised when our friend ordered one the other night and the bartended didn’t even flinch. The drink has become so popular it is now in a bartender’s repertoire!
The recipe is as follows and supposedly has only 100 calories;
-2oz of Clear Premium Tequila (count 1, 2 while you pour, no need for measuring)
-Tiny splash of Orange Liquor
-Juice of 4 Fresh Lime Wedges
*Serve over ice and garnish with a lime wedge
We were so intrigued by this we searched her website (www.bethenny.com) and found a whole list of Skinny Girl Cocktails. So if tequila is not your forte, you can find the cocktail that suits your liquor preference.
If you are up for a challenge try making the Lychee Martini:
-A rocks glass filled with ice
-2 oz premium vodka (a 2 count)
-1 oz of lychee juice (a 1 count), you can purchase 20 oz cans of Lychees in their own syrup at the grocery store
-1 oz of club soda (a tip I use when making cocktails, it makes for a lighter drink)
-2 lychees, for garnish
-A chilled martini glass
*Combine ice, vodka and lychee juice in cocktail shaker.
Shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass, add lychees for garnish.
