We just missed National Margarita Day (it’s February 22), but there was no way we would wait until next year to write about this new brew. Check out our thoughts on the low-calorie Skinny Girl Margarita from Bethenny Frankel of Real Housewives of New York.
The Skinny Girl Margarita is a blend of agave nectar and 100% Blue Agave Tequila in one chic bottle. “Relationships are about compromise,” says Frankel. “My margaritas aren’t.” Clearly, this beverage is being marketed towards the types of women who watch her show and buy her cookbooks: 20 and 30-somethings who want a fashion-forward, savvy lifestyle…and to look good in a little black dress while they’re living it.
One can’t help but feel like this is just one more product in the whole scheme that is the Bethenny Frankel brand, especially when the Skinny Girl website talks about having “Skinny Girl Nights In” with your girlfriends, drinking margaritas and making mole (a recipe from one of Bethenny’s cookbooks, no doubt). A full 4 oz. serving of Skinny Girl contains 100 calories, about the amount in a light beer. But beware, because this is one sweet concoction, so much so it gave our tester a “sour face” with each sip.
