Skinny Girl Margarita from Real Housewives of NYC

by Rachel on July 31, 2008

Wow - thank you for visiting Girly Drinks again. Looks like you're a regular here. Do you have a signature cocktail recipe that you want to share? If so, contact us at staff@girly-drinks.com with an image and recipe and link (optional) so that you can be part of our site.

While the show is now over, the Real Housewives of NYC was definitely funny. It’s a guilty pleasure, but I love watching all the shows on Bravo – Top Chef, Real Housewives, Flipping Out, Work Out…It’s a wonder that I ever get anything done (I don’t)!

Anyways, Bethenny from the Real Housewives of NYC is a chef who specializes in natural and healthy foods. On the show, she was famous for what she called “The Skinny Girl Margarita.” Bethany ordered it at bars and restaurants and told the bartenders how to make it. Gotta give this girl credit – she was on a popular reality show with an audience that consisted of mostly women, and she promoted the heck out of her specialty drink. Seriously, the Skinny Girl Margarita made an appearance in at least 3 different shows. Smart cookie, that Bethenny…

So, the Skinny Girl Margarita has lower calories and less salt. Bethenny advises to always drink clear liquors in order to avoid hangovers and to ensure that you’re not consuming a butt-load of calories.

Update: The Skinny Girl Cocktails line is coming out with the Skinny Girl Margarita this summer (2009). Visit Bethenny’s website, http://www.skinnygirlcocktails.com/, for more information. She also has a Facebook Fan page that is updated regularly.

Bethenny has also posted the recipe for her Skinny Girl Margarita:

  • 2 oz of clear Tequila (Sauza or clear premium tequila)
  • (count 1, 2 while you pour, no need for measuring)
  • A splash of fresh lime juice
  • A splash of Grand Marnier or BOLS Triple Sec

Combine all ingredients over a glass of ice

Garnish with a lime wedge and salt (or sugar) if you’d like.

Makes one serving

    I am a big fan - can't wait to try BethennyBakes!! I have been working on my first cookbook for years
    and you have inspired me to get a move on! I got more reality dose when I saw you on Housewifes of NYC . I admire you for sticking to whom you are- A real no nonsense Girl!
    I am planning a cooking lesson at my house with some friends, and we will be drinking "Skinny Girl" cocktails!!

  • Drueann
    I agree we need a skinny girl martini
  • Nikki
    What about skinny girl martini's?? I don't like margherita's and i don't drink martini's straight up vodka. I like the smores martini, etc. any ideas??
  • doodah
    Okay, so were a "little miss-understood" during some of those shows! Frankly, Bethenny, you really should have splash a cold one in Kelly's face - what was holding you back? I'm looking forward to trying the new cocktails and wish you all the best with it, you deserve it......
  • Mswe
    Please come up with a skinny girl cosmo or lemon drop martini! Love you.
  • Barbara
    Looking forward to the Skinnygirl Margarita. Yahoo!!! Finally can drink freely.
  • Tonya Stroede
    Team Bethenny all the way. You are awesome. I am a former bartender of 4 years, the "Skinny Girl Margarita" rocks. Love it!!!
  • Teri L Holtz
    Hey Bethenny Just want to say first of all I just love you, you are H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!! Secondly I would love to promote your drinks where me and girlfriends hang out...we need a drink thats low in calories. So please if you could send me some drinks that are low cal and I will call them the skinny girl drink which ever it is by Bethanny and get your name out around my town Cleveland, Ohio

    I'm really looking forward to any and all skinny girl cocktails that become available. It's really difficult to order a cocktail these days and not have it full of sugar and/or calories. Ladies try this one, it's really refreshing!
    Grey Goose Vodka, Pelegrino & fresh crushed mint! Portions are to your liking depending on how strong or weak you like your cocktail! I usually do half and half. For an extra kick add a slice of lime....It's really good!
  • Lauren L
    I'm looking forward to these hitting the liquor stores! =)
  • I just want to let everyone know, the Skinnygirl Margarita will be available in liquor stores everywhere this summer (2009)! All natural and only 100 calories for a full 4oz!
