Key Lime Margarita

Everyone knows that margaritas are a staple for any Cinco de Mayo Fiesta spread, but I prefer to always do things a little differently.  Rather than the traditional margarita, which is quite high in calories and sugar from most tequila mixers, I prefer a lower calorie version. But many of the low calorie mixers taste "off" or full of chemicals to me due to the artificial sweeteners.  To get around both these issues and have something a little different and a little reminiscent of the Keys, use this delicious Key Lime Margarita drink recipe.  Pair it up with Flan-tinis and Tequila Lime Jell-O Shots to provide a a fun, festive and well rounded drink station for your fiesta! 
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. of Key Lime Greek no-fat yogurt
2 parts preferred tequila
1 part *key lime juice
1 part club soda
Agave nectar to taste
Garnish with lime slice and rim salt (optional)
  1. Mix all ingredients in a martini shaker and serve over ice or
  2. Mix in a blender with ice if you prefer frozen margaritas.
Please drink responsibly.

*Tip: Most grocers sell bottled key lime juice if you don't have access to fresh key limes.
