Gluten-Free Skinnygirl® Margarita

For my birthday, a friend gave me a bottle of Skinnygirl® Margarita. I remember hearing mixed things about this pre-made light margarita and it's level of gluten, if any. I also heard they had very poor customer service and do not respond to customers. Luckily for me and my readers, I recently heard back from the Skinnygirl company and here is what they had to say:

The ingredients in Skinnygirl Margarita are not produced from cereals containing gluten and do not contain gluten. 

Here are the nutritional facts for the product you mentioned:

Looks good to me, especially since I am almost done with the birthday bottle and have another bottle in my kitchen as we speak. I am looking forward to trying different flavors of margaritas this summer, including adding pureed watermelon and maybe peach. Any suggestions?

I was also excited to learn that Skinnygirl is launching sangria this summer. Read on:

In case you haven’t heard the news, Beam Global has acquired Skinnygirl® Cocktails, created by natural foods chef and reality TV star Bethenny Frankel. Skinnygirl® Margarita has 100 calories per four-ounce serving, uses natural flavors and is lightly sweetened with agave nectar. One of the next cocktails under the Skinnygirl® brand will be a white sangria available in stores this summer!!
