This was FANTASTIC!! I was in the mood for a cocktail and still had a bottle of my Skinny Girl Margarita mix in the fridge so I decided to try a new flavor. I threw in some Crystal Light Raspberry mix that I had on hand with some ice and VOILA! Super easy and oh so healthy! I usually make my margaritas with fresh strawberries so this was a fun change. The great thing is this entire drink is only 100 calories! Weight Watchers friends that's only 3 points per glass as opposed to a whopping 10 points for a typical margarita! You can't beat that and in my opinion you really can't taste the difference. I rimmed the glass with some Splenda and garnished with a lime for flare. Let me know how you like it! Cheers!

Ok - so I realize this is an older post, but seriously - I never even thought about adding flavor to the skinny girl margs - This is brilliant!
What a good idea. I never would have thought of adding Crystal lite. I will definately be trying this.
Mmmm raspberries! These could be dangerous! Without all the calories there's no incentive to stop.
Beautiful!
Thanks for visiting Rhubarb and Honey ... because of that I found your adorable blog!

Looking forward to seeing more of your recipes!

Just discovered your blog via Pinterest...and I gotta tell ya, I have three more weeks left in my pregnancy and these drinks are making me DROOL!!!! Can't wait to try them all!
You know whats even better then using Crystal Light...try Go Cocktails! they have 5 calorie
single serve packets that are the actual flavor of cocktails and taste amazing! I'm glad someone finally came up with a convenient and easy to use mix that actually tastes like the REAL drink. We shouldn't have to sacrifice taste for calories :-) I'm going to try a Mango Margarita tonight...just using Go Cocktails Margarita mix, tequila, frozen mango & ice :-)
Sounds Yummy! In England its finally sunny, this seem perfect!
What is crystal light? Im in Australia and have never heard of it
