8 Low-Cal Margarita Mixes Compared
Low Cal Margarita Mixes Compared - Live Taste Test
With lots of time thanks to the quarantine, we thought we’d compare 8 Low Cal Margarita Mixes!
We compared 8 brands for price and ingredients and did two separate taste tests: one blind taste test with each mix as a margarita blended with Don Julio Tequila, and a follow-up taste test of a sip of each mix without ice or tequila.
Our comparison was limited to low-calorie or “skinny” margarita mixes, so we didn’t include any regular mixes or any “ready to drink” mixers that include tequila.
These light margarita mixes are some of the most available brands available and are easy to find at a store near you or even on Amazon!
All you need to do is purchase a margarita mixer and add your favorite alcohol!
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE WINNER — Maybe you need to decide right now… then spoiler alert…… it is Baja Bobs on Amazon!!!
Here is the Video Breakdown – You can use this timetable to jump ahead

Here is the breakdown of each low calorie mixer.
We include calories, carbs, and our personal award.
And a 1-5 taste rating (5 being the best).
1. Mr. and Mrs. T Skinny Margarita Mix
- Calories Per Serving: 10
- Carbs: 4g
- Juice: 0%
- Sweetener: Agave Nectar, Sucralose
- Taste: 1/5
- Award: Most affordable
Reminds me of Tropicana Light Lemonade. It has two grams of sugar and you can just barely taste a bit of it.
Overall, it’s pretty bland, and it was the only mix that had High Fructose Corn Syrup. The best part about this mix is that it is very affordable, at just $2.98.
2. Stirrings 5 Calorie Margarita Mix
- Calories Per Serving: 5
- Carbs: 2
- Juice: 15% Real Juice, No Preservatives
- Sweetener: Cane Sugar, Key Lime
- Taste 1/5
- Award: Most unique
This one is a lot more tart than the others. The most interesting aspect of this one is that it uses key lime juice, though you have to really try to taste it (go light on the ice).
3. Baja Bob’s Sugar Free Cocktail Mixer – Keto Friendly
- Calories Per Serving: 10
- Carbs: 3g
- Juice: Lime Juice
- Sweetener: Sucralose
- Taste 5/5
- Award: All around the best
It just has so much flavor for being sugar-free! It just tastes so rich and amazing! When we did the blind taste test, I genuinely thought this had sugar and sweet juice in it because we couldn’t believe how much flavor it had!
4. Jose Cuervo Light Margarita Mix
- Calories Per Serving: 10
- Carbs: 2g
- Juice: ?
- Sweetener: Sucralose, Sugar-Free
- Taste: 2/5
- Award: Well known for its Tequila as well! Easy to find in stores
Similar to Mr. & Mrs. T with a synthetic taste, but is even less sweet as it doesn’t have any sugar. It has a bit of an aftertaste but isn’t terrible.
5. Powell & Mahoney Craft Cocktail Skinny Mixers
- Calories Per Serving: 50
- Carbs: 14
- Juice: 0%
- Sweetener: Cane sugar, lime juice, agave syrup
- Taste: 3/5
- Award: Made with natural ingredients
This one has by far the most calories and sugar cal grams of sugar per serving it also has by far the most juice it has 20% juice that tastes juicy was just not that sweet for how much sugar it has.
6. Dr. Swami & Bone Daddy’s Top Shelf Low Cal Margarita Mix
- Calories Per Serving: 23
- Carbs: 6
- Juice: 12%
- Sweetener: Sugar, Lime & Lemon Juice
- Taste: 4/5
- Award: Most Balanced
Delicious, it’s really good and I don’t know why it didn’t come through as a regular margarita mix because it has 12% juice in 5 grams of sugar tell me a more natural taste than some of the more synthetic ones it wasn’t one of the favorites it’s definitely better than Powell at half the sugar.
7. La Paz
- Calories Per Serving: 2
- Carbs: 2
- Juice: 0%
- Sweetener: Splenda
- Taste: 4/5
- Award: Richest Flavor
No sugar but just so much flavor it’s like Baja Bob not as strong but I recall it being a good margarita
8. Big Daddy’s

- Carbs: 4
- Juice: 0%
- Sweetener: Stevia
- Taste: 5/5
- Award: BOLD Taste!
It is full of flavor! This is an all around delicious low cal margarita!
