RETIRE IN MARGARITAVILLE....YES!

Already, Margaritaville — a 30-year-old brand based on Buffett’s laid-back style and music — has spawned hotels, stores, casinos, resorts and restaurants. Now the company wants to parlay the 70-year-old singer’s 1977 hit of the same name into something more by teaming up with property developer Minto Communities to build Latitude Margaritaville, the first of a chain of “active adult communities” to be tagged with the Margaritaville name.

Construction of the $1 billion neighborhood with a tropical vibe, restricted to people 55 and older, has begun in Daytona Beach, Fla. Plans for the golf cart–friendly community include nearly 7,000 homes and a spa, lap pools, fitness facilities, 200,000 square feet of retail space, a band shell for live entertainment, and a free shuttle to a private beachfront club.

Margaritaville-brand food and beverage concepts would be on tap as part of indoor and outdoor dining options to include the Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant and the Five O’Clock Somewhere bar.

“It’s going to be a very fun place,” Bill Bullock, senior vice president of Minto Communities, told ABC News. “We expect our first residents to be living in the community by late summer of 2018.”

The project’s sales office is slated to open in the fall of 2017.

Bullock said the community’s two- and three-bedroom homes — all with dens and garages — will be priced from the very low $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s.

Buffett opened his first Margaritaville retail store in Key West, Fla., in 1985, and today Margaritaville Holdings has properties all around the world. This year, the first phase of another project, Margaritaville Resort Orlando — which includes a 187-room hotel and 300 time-share units — is scheduled to be completed.

Still not convinced that you should be searching for your lost shaker of salt in Margaritaville? According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, anyone living there may be in for a few surprises. “You never know when or where Jimmy Buffett may show up to do a concert,” Bullock said.

Love Margaritas? Hate the calories? Need to justify more Margaritas? No problem!

Here is your 100 Calorie Strawberry Watermelon Margarita Recipe

One of the issues with Margarita's is the mix, not the tequila. A full 12oz Margarita with a sugar sweet mix can easily turn that drink into a 500+ calorie beverage. If you have 2 or 3, you are likely over your calorie intake for the day, not that you are counting it at that point.

But the tequila is another story at only 70-80 calories per 1oz shot. Plus it has no carbs! BONUS!

So what is the solution to having a few good Margaritas and saving on the calories and carbs? Simple, get a no/low calorie mix like Crystal Light. My wife and I love the Strawberry Watermelon flavor, which for a full gallon pitcher is only 80 calories. It mixes well with a good silver tequila like 1800, Cazadores, or Patrón.

What the bottom line math on this mix of calories and margaritas?
A Margarita with 12oz of Crystal Lite Strawberry Watermelon mix plus 1oz of tequila is just under 100 calories and has no carbs. That's it!

Simple Recipe for the 100 Calorie Strawberry Watermelon Margarita

1oz of Silver Tequila
12oz of Strawberry Watermelon mix
Add ice
Stir & serve
You're Welcome.

Give us your feedback on this mix, or any other low/no calorie Margarita Mix that you have tried.
