Skinny Spicy Margarita in a glass with a salt rim

So, I tried to make a plain old skinny spicy margarita, but I just couldn't. I didn't have it in me to make it traditional. I had to shake things up a bit!

Many skinny margarita recipes call for orange juice in place of orange liqueur or Triple sec. We are throwing the orange out the window and using coconut milk instead! I love the tropical flavor this adds. Not to mention, it contains maybe 1 gram of natural sugar.

If you're looking for an orange filled cocktail, try my Kombucha Gin Cocktail!

I have a feeling you will never go back to making a traditional skinny margarita again once you try my version.

As far as sweetener goes, we are using a little pure honey. You can add as much or as little as you'd like. You can also use agave in place of honey.

Skinny Spicy Margarita Ingredients

Overview of the ingredients

thin jalapeño slices with the seeds removed - It's important to remove the seeds or your mouth will be on fire!

tequila blanco or silver - I used Espolon Blanco Tequila.

fresh lime juice - Never use the bottled stuff!

light unsweetened canned coconut milk - To keep this cocktail light, we are using light coconut milk compared to full fat.

pure honey or agave

ice cubes

A complete list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is located on the recipe card below.

Skinny Spicy Margarita Salt Rim

How to salt the rim of a glass?

It's so easy, but looks so fancy! Pour salt (or Tajin Spice/Trader Joe's Chili Lime Seasoning) on a plate. Next, cut a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass. Lastly, dip in the salt.

Optional Tools

When I first started making cocktails, I purchased a basic cocktail shaker set from Amazon. You can grab it HERE.

You can easily make this drink without a cocktail shaker, but it makes it more fun!

If you have one, you can use a muddle for this recipe, but I just used the back of a wooden spoon.

Spicy Skinny Margarita in a glass

If you're hosting a party, go ahead and triple the recipe. You can just make a large pitcher of this skinny spicy margarita. On the recipe card, you will see an option to triple the recipe. The measurements will change for you automatically once you select "3x".

What to pair this cocktail with?

  • Mango Corn Salsa
  • Dairy Free Chicken BBQ Nachos
  • Mexican Cobb Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing
  • Air Fryer Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

    I made this margarita over the weekend for my fiancé and I before we went to dinner. O-M-G! I will never make a margarita any other way again. That’s all. Goodbye 👋.
