"Guilt Free" Partida Margarita - Margarita Recipe

Partida Tequila
Partida Tequila, an authentic, all-natural, Tequila made from 100% blue agave, is the special ingredient behind the guilt-free Partida Margarita, a drink created especially for this premium brand. With no garnish, salt and secondary liquor required (triple sec, which contains at least 100 calories per ounce), the alcohol and sugar content are lower than traditional margaritas—by as much as 200 calories! Plus, the agave nectar used in this cocktail is an organic, natural fructose sweetener extracted from the blue agave plant. Sweeter than sugar—with a lower glycemic index rating than sugar, honey or maple syrup—agave nectar is water soluble and readily dissolves in cold beverages so it blends effortlessly in cocktails.
