How did Bethany respond to Whole Foods’ removal of her product? It doesn’t meet Whole Foods’ quality standard. Which sounds good except that Whole Foods pulled it off their shelves because it includes “sodium benzoate” as a preservative. The bottle says:Īll natural, lightly sweetened with agave nectar, and made with premium Blue Agave clear tequila. Now for the down side (other than the price) - there isn’t an ingredient list included on the bottle or the website. What she left out is all the sugar, so if you like your margarita really sweet you are not going to like this concoction. Four ounces is a glass of wine - so for four ounces you are drinking 94 calories - which IS skinny for a margarita. The alcohol in this drinks is 12.7% which is comparable to wine. There are 37.5 calorie in 1.5 ounces of this drink. It has a good balance between lime and tequila and I don’t have to mix anything. In a shocking moment, I said to my husband, “I would actually drink this.” What? Well, it isn’t sweet. So, I tasted the margarita, and I pronounce it very drinkable. I could continue but I bet the Bethany Frankel fans are going to start flaming me. She probably wouldn’t ride in anything later than a 2011 BMW. Ummmm, yeah, so now I have another reason to hate it because I have nothing in common with Bethany Frankel.įor example, I own a 1984 Honda Accord that I actually like to drive. Skinnygirl drinks are the creation of Bethany Frankel who was made famous by her appearance on “The Real Housewives of New York” on Bravo.

You see, I have had a margarita experience involving turquoise water and white sand that will be one of the apexes of my short life. Where have I been? I plunked down my $14 (ouch) and purchased the best seller of the lot the “Skinnygirl Margarita”. He replied, “We sell A LOT of Skinnygirl here. “Do you sell something called Skinny Girl?” I was feeling quite sheepish when I asked. But, I didn’t know what she was talking about until I asked the young man who sells kegs to college students about Skinnygirl. Looking to join the fun, but keep with the smaller waist line. Have any of you tried Skinny Girl red wine? What did you think?įor the teenagers who read this site, Snack Girl advocates waiting until the legal drinking age to indulge in alcoholic beverages.One of my readers recently sent me to my local alcoholic beverage establishment with a request.ĭo you think you could do one on drinks for the 4th of July? I have seen the Skinny Girl ads & think hmmm, but would I be better off with a Mike's hard Cranberry Light.

Buying Skinny Girl red wine is embarrassing.You could reduce your calories to 100 per glass by drinking four ounces of any red wine instead of five.I asked him how much he would pay for it and he said $8. I did a blind taste test on my husband (he did not know that it was Skinny Girl) and he liked it too. How did it taste? I was ready to hate it but I thought it was pretty good. They reduced the alcohol – the only calorie component really in wine – and they got a lighter wine. How does Skinny Girl red wine reduce the calories? Their wine is 10% alcohol and a regular red wine is 13.5%. If you do the math that means you could buy less expensive wine and drink four ounces to consume 100 calories. The boast on the front is 100 calories for 5 ounces.īefore you get too excited, a regular five ounce glass of red wine (from a box or bottle) runs about 125 calories. There it was next to the Ravenswood and other nice varietals for a whopping $15. I looked up and saw the regions of wine hanging from the ceiling – Spain – nooo – France – noooo – Australia – noooo – I SEE IT! California! – correct! Think about it – “hey, I think I’m fat so could you get me some skinny wine?” – I couldn’t ask. I caught a commercial for Skinny Girl red wine on some sports program I was watching – it may have been the Super Bowl – and I thought – this is a quest for Snack Girl.Īfter arriving at my local liquor store, I stood in the center not wanting to ask the young man at the front where the Skinny wine could be found. What if there was a wine that helped you lose the weight and you could still drink wine?!! Wouldn’t that be amazing?
