“Everyone loves margaritas, but no one wants the guilt or the calories. That’s why I created the Skinnygirl™ Margarita. At only 100 calories for a full 4 oz. serving, all natural ingredients, no preservatives or artificial colors, lightly sweetened with agave nectar and made with premium Blue Agave clear Tequila, Skinnygirl™ is the margarita you can trust.”

- Bethenny Frankel

The Skinnygirl Margarita was created by Bethenny Frankel, a renowned natural foods chef, author of the New York Times Bestseller, Naturally Thin, and the star of Real Housewives of New York City. As a chef and mixologist, Bethenny is an expert in taking high calorie or otherwise unhealthy foods or cocktails, and making healthier versions of them. In the case of the margarita, this happened to be one of Bethenny’s favorite cocktails. She also knew the typical margarita served in a restaurant had over 500 calories in a 4 oz. serving. So, she created her own recipe on Real Housewives Season 1, after which the most asked question of the Bravo website was, “How do I make the Skinnygirl Margarita?” Prepared cocktails were also very high in calories, and were generally made with high fructose corn syrup, yellow dye #5, preservatives and other ingredients Bethenny would never include in any product she would drink, let alone sell. She then realized there was an oppportunity: To create a low-calorie, all-natural prepared margarita for people like her, who are concerned about calories and ingredients, but still want to enjoy a cocktail responsibly.
