When the weather gets warm, drink up!

Regardless of the day, regardless of the hour. When it's over 75 degrees and I'm basking in the heat, I enjoy a nice refreshing drink! Of course, when I'm soaking up the rays I am usually in a bikini and don't want to widen my waist! So I found this refreshing Strawberry Margarita *SWAP* that is not only healthier than a traditional margarita (which packs in over 350 calories per serving, on average) but is also less sugary - no more having sticky lips!

HG Alternative! If you're under 21 (or just dance funny when you're tipsy), try this virgin version -- simply swap the tequila for an extra 1/4 cup of the soda. That liquor-less slushfest clocks in with only around 28 calories and a POINTS® value of 0*.
