Earlier this week I posted some tips from my friend and nutritionista, Megan Zimak, on watching what you eat during summer's social season. But sometimes, you just need a cool cocktail to beat the heat. That's why Megan has passed along some refreshing recipes for guilt-free goodies to wet your whistle. Look out for a new one every Friday until the heat breaks.
Today we have a tropical treat - just add a bikini and a big floppy hat -- and enjoy!

Sounds delicious! Was just thinking about refreshing, low calorie summer drinks. Never checked out what's in a "Skinny Girl Margarita", but if it's tequilla, I'm out.
