Fresca Margarita Recipe – the Mexican Margarita

One can return from Mexico with an assortment of things – another tourist t-shirt, illegal prescriptions, illicit drugs, Montezuma’s revenge, the clap, dysentery, yellow fever, malaria, parasites, etc.  Fortunately, my wife didn’t come home with any of those from her trip to Puebla, Mexico.

I mean, like I really need another t-shirt…

Instead, she came home with a few bottles of tequila and a new drink recipe – a Fresca Margarita recipe.

What follows is a recipe that’s easy to make, low on calories, tasty, and good for a quick drink.  This Fresca Margarita recipe been our go-to this summer for the pool or a quick happy hour drink on a Friday evening.

Assembly

Assembly will vary depending on the quantity you are drinking.  We normally mix two shots of tequila per can of Fresca.  So, if you are going with a Tom Collins glass which holds roughly a half a can, you would use one shot.  If you are going balls out with Bubba Keg, two cans and four shots baby!

  • Toss the ice into your drinking vessel
  • Add tequila
  • Add Fresca
  • Flick in a lime wedge
  • Stir
  • Drink
