Less measuring, less prep, fewer variables.
The balance behind the pour
Bright lime. Balanced sweetness. Zero sugar.
In our house Margaritas, Gimlets and Daiquiris, Cordial Craft brings the lime and sweetness together. Measure one ingredient instead of separate lime juice and sugar syrup.
The Skinny Margarita Problem
Skinny should mean something.
Many skinny margaritas do not remove the sugar. They simply replace orange liqueur or simple syrup with agave. Monin’s current Organic Agave Nectar label lists 6 g total and added sugar per 0.25 fl oz, so a 0.75 oz pour contributes 18 g sugar before the lime juice or any other sugar-containing ingredient is counted.
18 g
of total and added sugar from 0.75 oz Monin Organic Agave Nectar, based on the manufacturer’s current online label.
Agave’s health halo can be misleading. A lower-glycemic reputation does not change a product label’s calories, Total Sugars, or Added Sugars. The measured pour and current label determine what the ingredient contributes.
About the comparison
The example uses Monin Organic Agave Nectar’s current online Nutrition Facts: 25 calories and 6 g Total Sugars, all added, per 0.25 fl oz. Multiplying three labeled servings gives 75 calories and 18 g sugar for 0.75 oz. Monin advises checking the physical bottle because online information may change.
A skinny margarita that earns the name.
- 2 oz tequila
- 0.75 oz Cordial Craft
- Approximately 131 calories and 0 g sugar for the build shown
- No separate lime or syrup
- Shake hard with ice and serve
The bar gets a faster build. Both estimates use the same 80-proof unflavored tequila with 0 g sugar: about 213 calories and 18.5 g sugar for the agave recipe shown, or about 131 calories and 0 g sugar for the Cordial Craft recipe shown. Different ingredients or measures change those totals. Alcohol still contributes calories.
Built From Lime Character
Lime flavor is more than squeezed juice.
Lime flavedo is the aromatic outer peel. We use it for the lime aroma you notice before the first sip, with layered acidity for a crisp finish.
Sweetness softens the tart edge; body gives the cocktail a rounded feel.
Your first Margarita
Measure. Shake. Serve.
Formula:
Start with 2 fl oz tequila and 0.75 fl oz Cordial Craft. Shake with ice, then strain. Try up to 1 fl oz cordial to suit your taste. Our gimlet and daiquiri recipes use 2 fl oz spirit with 1 fl oz cordial.
Simple to Use
A better Margarita starts with two measured pours.
