Though I’ve maintained a huge weight loss over the years, I confess that I still balk at giving up the occasional margarita. Most of the ones served at restaurants are full of sugar and calories, so I make my own lower-cal version at home.

Before you start making the drinks, it’s important to have all the ingredients ready — you don’t want the blueberries and ice to melt while you’re squeezing lemons and limes.
