This Skinny Triple Sec has just a fraction of the calories of normal triple sec, and so yummy!
It’s pretty clear that I like my cocktails. But with me counting my calories and all, something had to be done. Do you know there are like 100 calories in one ounce of triple sec??
So I decided to make my own with some Truvia Baking Blend. (FYI, this isn’t a sponsored post, I just love my Truvia . . . my coffee gets a spoonful every morning).
So, full disclosure, this isn’t technically triple sec. Because triple sec has the orange flavor with a decent amount of alcohol involved. But since it is a pretty regular ingredient in margaritas, and I do love me a margarita, I was trying to replicate the flavor while sparing some of the calories. And I’m happy to say, SUCCESS! This tastes so good, it is such a perfect sub for triple sec, and one ounce of it is about a 19 calories. NINETEEN!
Annnnnnd! If you aren’t a big drinker, you could use this to make your smoothies just a little bit sweeter!
You may have already guessed that there is a cocktail recipe that goes along with this, but you’re just going to have to wait a day for that. Trust me, it’s worth it ;)
