Sugar-Free Margarita

Feeling a bit frisky? Trying to find out how you can enjoy a margarita & stick to your Keto Diet? Well ask and you shall receive! This sugar-free recipe is made with tequila, lime juice, and orange extract instead of the traditional Triple Sec or Cointreau orange liqueurs which have high concentrations of sugar.

Margaritas can be served straight up, on the rocks, or blended into a slushy consistency with crushed ice for a frozen margarita. You can coat the glass rim with coarse salt, if you prefer, and garnish with a lime wedge. I prefer on the rocks with a salted glass and a lime, Enjoy!

Ingredients

· 1 jigger (1 1/2 ounces) tequila

· 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

· 1/4 cup water

· 1/4 teaspoon orange extract

· Ice

· Optional: margarita salt or kosher salt

· Optional: lime wedge for garnish

· Optional: 1 tablespoon agave syrup (no longer makes it sugar-free) or stevia

Instructions

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lime juice, water, orange extract, agave syrup, if using, and a small handful of ice. Shake until well blended. Alternatively, you can mix ingredients in a blender until slushy.

2. If desired, wet the rim of a margarita or martini glass with lime juice or plain water and dip it into a small plate of margarita or kosher salt.

3. Pour mixture from shaker into glass, either over ice or straight up. If blended, pour straight into ​the glass.
