byPaul Kushnerupdated 1 Comment
I’ve mixed and served countless tequila drinks, and I’ve noticed a trend that can’t be ignored: low calorie tequilas. These are perfect for folks who love a good co*cktail but are mindful of their calorie intake. These tequilas retain the smooth, agave-rich flavor we all crave but with fewer calories, so you can enjoy more without worrying about overdoing it. They’re ideal for classic margaritas or any new mix you’re eager to try. I personally love them because they mean everyone can enjoy a drink or two without compromise. I highly recommend checking out a roundup of low calorie tequila recipes; it’s a great way to keep your drinks fresh and light.
