Hey guys, happy Friday!
I made us margaritas because I am so done with winter and can’t even believe it’s still 30-something degrees in the mornings.
And is there anything that makes you feel more summery than a gorgeous margarita?
I mean, maybe it not being 30 degrees so you can wear your cute summer clothes would make you feel more summery. But these Skinny Tequila Sunrise Margaritas will have to work for now.
If you’re like me and looking toward bikini season, I have a couple other low calorie margarita recipes you might like! Skinny Kiwi Margarita and Skinny Blood Orange Margaritas!
Why Is It Called Tequila Sunrise?
Tequila sunrise got it’s name because it looks like a sunrise!
The grenadine (a red syrup made from pomegranates) settles at the bottom of the glass and then starts to mix with the rest of the drink so the bottom looks red, the middle looks orange, and the top is yellow.
It’s one of my favorite drinks because it’s just so pretty!
