Skinny Girl Sweet'Arita 750ML is a ready-to-serve margarita made with blue agave silver tequila, bottled at 9.95% ABV (19.9 proof) in a 750ml format. What distinguishes this expression from the original Skinnygirl Margarita is the amplified sweetness derived from agave nectar rather than traditional sugar, keeping each serving under 100 calories.

Production & Heritage

The Skinnygirl brand, now produced under the Beam Suntory portfolio, built its reputation on the concept of lower-calorie cocktails that don't sacrifice flavor. The Sweet'Arita uses blue agave silver tequila as its spirit base, blended with agave nectar as the primary sweetener — a deliberate choice that keeps the calorie count below 100 per serving while introducing a rounder, more natural sweetness than refined sugar would provide. This sets it apart from the flagship Skinnygirl Margarita by leaning into that sweeter, dessert-adjacent profile while still delivering recognizable tequila character.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright lime leads on the nose, followed by a soft wave of orange citrus. A subtle peppery note from the tequila base emerges underneath, keeping the aromatics from reading purely as a fruit drink.

Taste: The entry is sweet and tangy, with candied lime and orange dominating the front palate. At mid-palate, the agave nectar rounds things out with a honeyed quality, while the blue agave tequila adds a mild vegetal and peppery backbone. A pleasant tartness emerges toward the peak, preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying.

Finish: The finish is medium-short with a subtle salinity and lingering citrus zest. A faint echo of agave sweetness trails off cleanly.

How to Drink Sweet'Arita

The Sweet'Arita is designed to be poured directly over ice — no mixing required. For a colder, more refreshing serve, keep the bottle chilled and pour into a salt-rimmed glass with fresh ice. It also works as a base ingredient in more elaborate drinks: blend it with frozen strawberries for an easy Frozen Strawberry Margarita; top it with a splash of club soda and jalapeño slices for a Spicy Sweet'Arita Spritz; or combine it with a float of Chambord for a Berry Margarita riff that amplifies the existing citrus-sweet balance.

Best For

• Stocking a home bar for casual summer entertaining without needing a full cocktail setup
• Poolside or patio gatherings where convenience and lower-calorie options matter
• Girls' night in or brunch where a ready-to-pour option keeps the host out of the kitchen
• Anyone transitioning from sugary pre-mixed margaritas to a lighter alternative

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Sweet'Arita taste like? Sweet'Arita delivers a sweet and tangy margarita profile dominated by lime and orange citrus, backed by peppery agave tequila and a subtle salty finish. It reads sweeter than the original Skinnygirl Margarita while maintaining a pleasant tartness.

How does Sweet'Arita compare to SmarteRita? Both occupy the low-calorie ready-to-drink margarita space, but the Sweet'Arita leans heavier into sweetness thanks to its agave nectar base. SmarteRita tends toward a drier, more tart profile, making the choice largely a matter of personal sweetness preference.

Is Sweet'Arita good for beginners? Yes — at 9.95% ABV, the alcohol presence is mild and well-masked by the citrus and agave sweetness, making it approachable for those who find standard-strength cocktails too intense.

Where is Sweet'Arita made? Sweet'Arita is produced in the United States under the Beam Suntory portfolio, which acquired the Skinnygirl spirits brand. The blue agave silver tequila used in the blend is sourced from agave grown in Mexico.

What foods pair well with Sweet'Arita? Fish tacos work well, as the citrus in the drink brightens the seafood. Chips and guacamole complement the lime and salt notes. Grilled shrimp skewers mirror the sweet-tart balance. Light ceviche echoes the citrus acidity. Fruit-based desserts like mango sorbet extend the tropical sweetness.

What sizes does Sweet'Arita come in? The standard and most widely available format is the 750ml bottle.

Is Sweet'Arita worth the price? Sweet'Arita positions as an accessible, entry-level ready-to-drink margarita that delivers solid flavor at a modest price point. Its under-100-calorie-per-serving proposition and pour-and-serve convenience represent fair value within the RTD cocktail category.

Why Sweet'Arita?

The strongest case for the Sweet'Arita is its use of agave nectar as a sweetener — a more flavorful and lower-glycemic alternative to the corn syrup and refined sugars that dominate the ready-to-drink margarita category. At under 100 calories per serving, it solves a real problem for drinkers who want a recognizable margarita without the caloric weight of traditional pre-mixed options. The blue agave silver tequila base provides enough genuine tequila character to separate it from malt-based or wine-based margarita imitators. Within the Skinnygirl lineup, the Sweet'Arita fills a specific gap for those who found the original Margarita too tart and want a softer, more dessert-forward pour.
