SKINNY MARGARITA FULL

Instead of using triple sec we opted for a sparkling orange seltzer water. We knew the orange flavor shouldn’t be ignored, but both the simple syrup and triple sec were going to have to be non-existent in our low carb margarita recipe.

Triple sec is a high sugar alcohol that adds a light orange flavor to margaritas. Meaning our keto margarita will have just 1 gram of total sugar (coming from lime juice). Unlike a regular margarita which has 16-24 grams of sugar per serving, erythritol is completely sugar free. Instead we have chosen to use a low carb keto sweetener called erythritol. White sugar has a glycemic index of 65 that will spike your blood sugar and put a temporary pause on your fat burning state( 1). On a keto diet we try to avoid all sugar and refined carbs to stay in a state of ketosis. Like I said above this skinny margarita is totally sugar free. We removed the simple syrup and subbed triple sec for a low carb alternative, thus creating those authentic margarita flavors in a healthier way. This specific variation is not only “skinny”, but also 100% keto and low carb approved. And because it has about half the calories of a traditional margarita you don’t even have to feel guilty.Keto Margarita What Makes it a Skinny Margarita?Ī skinny margarita is one that is lower in carbs, calories, and sugars than a traditional drink. Whether you are celebrating Cinco de Mayo, taco Tuesday or just sitting on the deck on a hot summer day, this Skinny Margarita is perfect for sipping on.

Mix up the flavor by adding a splash of fruit juice, or sliced jalapenos if you like it spicy! It is very easy to mix up and make different versions.

Then fill with ice before adding the margarita.

Salting the rim is optional, but super easy if you want to! Run a wedge of lime around the rim of a class, and then dip the edge in salt so it sticks.

It is lighter in flavor and will lead to a tastier drink.

Use tequila that is labeled 100% agave tequila white, silver or blanco.

It only takes a couple limes and 1 orange, so it isn’t that much work! It makes all the difference from an ok drink to a delicious and refreshing drink.

When making this skinny margarita recipe use freshly squeezed juice.

Taste and adjust if you need more sweetener.

Mix together lime juice, orange juice, tequila and a little bit agave together in a shake or a pitcher.

I start with just a little and adjust up to make sure I get it right and it isn’t overly sweet. Then you add in the tequila and kind of taste test to get the perfect amount of agave. You want to start with more lime juice than orange juice, since margaritas are mainly lime flavored. The exact ratio of these ingredients is kind of up to you. Although, you can control the sweetness and add more agave if you like yours on the sweeter side! It tastes very much like a traditional margarita, but has less calories and is a little more tart. It is made from fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice that takes the place of the triple sec that is traditionally used, tequila and then agave syrup for sweetener. It has about half the calories, so you have zero guilt enjoying one. This Skinny Margarita is the perfect option.
