The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

The downside of margaritas is the sugar content. If you are watching your carbs, try this version made with sugar-free drink mix. Cut down on calories out without sacrificing happy hour.

Finally I can have a margarita again! Been counting calories carefully to get into shape but I do miss having a sweet drink once in a while. This turned out pretty good. Not quite as strong flavor as a real margarita but I think I can tweak that with the amount or brand of drink mix I use. Definitely will keep this recipe handy!
