Experiment with Your Margaritas!
In my opinion, this drink does not need added sugar. The strawberries have enough sweetness naturally and the Cointreau is also pretty sweet. The Frozen Strawberry Margarita ingredients provide the perfect amount of sweetness and tartness to balance this Marg.
Nevertheless, if you prefer a tad more sugar in your cocktail (everyone’s flavor preferences are different), add it! I recommend adding simple syrup, agave nectar, or perhaps honey to taste. These added sugars will blend and pair well with this frozen drink.
Strawberry Margarita Tip!
When freezing your strawberries, place them on a baking sheet to prevent them from clumping!
Sharper Nutrition Fix: Tequila
Did you know, that tequila might be one of the “healthiest” liquors in your kitchen? If you can even call liquor healthy.
Here are some facts:
- Tequila has the least amount of calories of all the boozes at ~103 kcal per 1.5 oz
- Tequila is an indigestible carbohydrate meaning you don’t digest those carbs aka fewer calories.
- Long-term, heavy use of alcohol can lead to diseases including Pancreatitis, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Breast Cancer, Liver Disease, and Oral Cancer.
Alcohol in Moderation (or as otherwise recommended by your healthcare provider)
Wait, what? All those diseases?! Weight gain?! “Sarah, why are you posting alcoholic beverages on your nutrition blog!?”
In short, I enjoy moderate amounts of alcohol. This a glass of wine or a super sour Belgian Saison are just a few other beverages I enjoy savoring. The key here is moderation. Alcohol can be enjoyed in moderation if you so choose. The keyword here is MODERATION. Okay, I’ve said this 3 times now; moderation. Keep in mind, that alcohol is basically, if not literally, a poison for our bodies.
Stay healthy my friends!
