13 Nights of Halloween

13 Nights of Halloween: Night 6

This is probably one of my favorite spooky recipes: spooky skinny margaritas!!! I am OBSESSED with these What’s Gaby Cooking Skinny Margs. I mean, I love all things Gaby, but these are seriously THE best. Any citrus really works in these, but the grapefruit is by far my favorite. I also like to use lemon juice instead of lime because I prefer lemon to lime! While you can always stick to her classic recipe, sometimes it is fun to put a festive spin on things!! To make these ~spooky~, you only need some black/green/purple food coloring and black sanding sugar! Bonus points if you use a fun Halloween mold to make shaped ice cubes!

look how ~spooooky~ the little Halloween ice cubes are!!
