LookBetterNaked Margarita Recipe

The nether region between Thanksgiving and Christmas isn't when we're usually looking for a margarita recipe, but the email we just received made a pretty good point - come the first of the year, we're going to have to shed a few pounds. Not that we think sitting around sipping tequila is going to do this for us, but the recipe in the email does seem like it'd help take a stab at enabling us to burn off some pork. We'll let the folks from Partida explain, since they do so better than we could:

Ingredients include Partida Reposado tequila, organic acai, organic agave nectar, rosemary, egg white and fresh squeezed lime juice. Since the ingredients are all natural, the LookBetterNaked margarita is a healthy alternative to other drinks. Using Sambozan Pure Organic Acai and Partida Organic Agave Nectar fills the margarita with antioxidants, amino acids, dietary fiber, iron, calcium, cholesterol-reducing fructans and Vitamins A and C. The rosemary is rich in vitamin E, preventing cancer and skin damage. An egg white provides a full source of protein, while the fresh lime juice
prevents heart disease and gives an extra dose of Vitamin C. The LookBetterNaked margarita is this year's guilty pleasure to help you lose the weight!

We're not quite sure we're buying it, but we're sure as hell willing to try...hope we don't have to make any tequila confessions. Read on for the full recipe.
