San Pedro, CA Happy Hour Expert Level 1 250 reviews February 22nd 2020, 7:17 pm Since I’m drinking it (again) I might as well leave a review 11/10 super good not sour taste. A Whole Foods rep says that it sells the concoction in “a couple” of stores and that it is waiting to get the ingredient list before deciding whether to pull it off the shelves as well. Four ounces is a glass of wine - so for four ounces you are drinking 94 calories - which IS skinny for a margarita. Skiing Original Margarita - 750ml Bottle has a nice light classic lime margarita flavor. The company also offered a third version of how the drink came off Whole Foods’ shelves - it said the chain didn’t “pull” the drink, it simply decided not to place any new orders.įrankel also launched Skinnygirl Sangria last month. It’s unclear how much of the preservative is in the drink.Ī rep for Beam Global - which bought Frankel’s line but has kept her involved - said the drink has “extremely low levels” of sodium benzoate and noted that it’s a “very common” preservative.

In a written statement, Whole Foods said the Skinnygirl Margarita “had been offered in 16 of Whole Foods Market’s 310 stores.

Made from premium Blue Agave Silver Tequila (yes, please) and lightly sweetened with agave nectar. I'm not sure I feel any skinnier after this experiment, but I've certainly broadened my palate to include the diverse, agave-sweetened world of ready-to-serve cocktails - with none of the "guilt" that comes with consuming calories, of any kind, at any time.

Add to that the fact that this has a higher alcohol content than most of the other cocktails, and I'm ready to kick back with the girls and enjoy an evening of peach-flavored real talk.

Tasting notes: Do Skinnygirl loyalists freak out every time a new flavor is released, thrown into fits of anxiety over the possibility that CALORIES might be a part of the "unique twist"? Nutritional info: 12.7% ABV 37.2 calories/1.5 fluid ounce 1.2g carbs/1.5 fluid ounce But don't worry - this one's low-cal too."
