WW points for a margarita?

[jennz]

Does anyone know how many WW points a lime margarita on the rocks gets? A group of us are going out tonight and...I'd really love one!

Thanks!

Hi Jennifer-

Margarita, 4 fl oz, 5 points - From the 2004 Flex List.

Hope this helps.

And a 4 oz. margarita would be TINY. Just picture a soft drink can when you're estimating quantity, that's 12 ounces...

Sadly, margarita's are wayyyyy high on the points ladder. And don't forget to count the chips and salsa! (Well, the salsa's probably free if it's fresh. But the chips sure add up!)

Be careful, and have fun.

(Now, a shot of tequila with a Diet Coke chaser is only 2 points. )

I like Kathy's idea better!!!

Yikes - 5 points! Margaritas are my drink of choice! I like them with crushed ice. Adding the ice is a visual trick to make me think I'm getting more than I actually am.

5 points! Thanks for the info! I checked before I went out last night and stuck to one light beer, which I think was only 2 points according to the point slider chart thing. And I only had 3 chips - yeah! I didn't go over on points, but I was tempted.

They WERE mine too, until I saw 5 points!! I did try diluting/stretching them with light lemonade (weird?) for a while, but now if I want a drink, I get a can of lite beer, 2 pts. Definately quantity over quality with that choice.

Great job jennz!!!
