How to make a Skinny Girl Margarita

Skinny Girl Margarita (by Bethenny Frankel)


The Margarita is the most popular cocktail drink in the U.S., although it is not clear who actually invented the drink. Some say that the Margarita was invented by a Mexican bartender named Willie and his friend Marguerite Hemery in 1934, whereas others are of the opinion that the drink was invented by Mexican Socialite Margarita Sames in 1948. Whoever the inventor is, the drink does have a Mexican connection.

There are lots of debates all over the world regarding the best recipe, and whether it should be on ice or blended with it.

Regardless, the beverage is a good refresher in any form.

Here is MY favorite recipe...I love these!



2 ounces clear premium silver tequila (count 1, 2 while you pour, no need for measuring)



juice of 1/2 lime



splash Grand Marnier or Bols triple sec




Combine all ingredients over a glass of crushed ice and garnish with a lime wedge. If you like the frozen version, place ingredients in a blender with ice.

(Silver tequila is made from 100% blue agave, which is how the drink is lower in calories...a good one to try is Patron Silver.)

Ole'!

How to make decorator icing for cake and cookies

2 egg whites
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tsp. water
2 1/2 to 3 c. sifted confectioners' sugar

 

Combine egg whites, cream of tartar and water and beat until frothy, gradually adding in confectioners sugar. Continue to beat until the mixture holds soft peaks. Coat with food coloring or concentrated fruit juices (such as beet juice).

This can be used as a paste or cement for gingerbread houses, or to make decorations adhere to cookies which have been previously baked. Or use this mixture to spread with a spatula as icing, or to pipe through decorator tubes.
