#Homemade margarita skinny free
This simple syrup free keto margarita is a great base for all your favorite refreshing flavors. This margarita recipe is good either way so go ahead and experiment to find your perfect drink. If you prefer it frozen simply follow all measurements and ingredients, but then blend in a high power blender. If you want your margarita on the rocks just stick to this traditional keto margarita recipe. How someone likes their drink is always up to them, but this recipe makes it easy to adapt and change the delivery as you see fit. Lime juice is ESSENTIAL in this recipe and really shouldn’t be traded or changed for anything else (flavor or seltzer water wise). That means per serving it is only 0.25 grams of sugar. The nutrition information for 1 oz of lime juice is just 1/2 a gram of sugar. Either way you choose to make it the flavor will always be better than the store bought version. Fresh lime juice is made by simply squeezing a few limes over a strainer, or making fresh squeezed juice in a juicer. It’s low carb, low sugar, and superior in flavor and quality when compared to bottled juices. Fresh Lime JuiceĮven though it is super easy to buy bottled lime juice, freshly squeezed lime juice is always the way to go. We love La Croix sparkling orange water as well as McCormick orange extract that has all the flavor without a high carb count. Make sure you choose a good quality orange extract or orange sparkling water so your drink has that orange flavor without tasting artificial. Oranges are not keto, however orange “flavored” things can be. Skinny or not your margarita should pack a punch! That means well balanced flavors that are fun and refreshing for this Mexican delicacy. Whether you like an earthier or a brighter flavor profile is up to you, but pick the best tequila possible for a great low carb marg. This will also help to round out the flavor profiles of our drink without any added sugar or simple syrup.
Pick a high quality tequila to ensure it has that lovely semi -sweet taste that comes from the agave plant. Picking a TequilaĮven if you choose to take your keto margarita frozen, you’ll still be able to tell if the alcohol isn’t smooth. Our margarita recipe is made with quality ingredients for the best flavor and smoothest sip. This isn’t your typical margarita mix and simple syrup recipe. The total nutritional information based on these margarita ingredients is: 135 calories, 1 gram of fat, 1 gram of protein, and 1 gram of net carbs per serving. Lime juice has a little bit of sugar, but it really isn’t anything to worry about since it’s only 1 gram per serving. The carbs come from lime juice and erythritol, however erythritol is always subtracted from the total carbs to give you net carbs. Our low carb keto margarita recipe only has 1 gram of net carbs. You get the orange flavor without any of the sugar. Orange extract can also be used in future drinks and treats so it’s always a good investment to have on hand. Companies will sometimes try to mix it with sugar or corn syrup as a cheaper option. Make sure that the orange extract you buy is pure alcohol and orange oil rather than anything else.
If you don’t want or can’t find orange seltzer water, you can get away with sparkling water and a few drops of orange extract or orange zest. It has 0 net carbs while still adding a refreshing orange flavor. 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. 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.
