lil carb Margarita



Happy Cinco De Mayo!  Why not celebrate with a homemade Margarita?! I know what you're thinking- you need a high carb, high calorie margarita mix, some tequila and a lime wedge. But you're wrong!
There is an easier way!!... And the clouds part and the sun shines down... ha!
Use my recipe to create a simple and tasty margarita right at home - any time you are craving one.

lil carb Margarita- makes 1 drink
-Rocks Glass
-Shaker

Ice- about 10-12 cubes
1 shot of tequila
juice of 1 lime
1/4 tsp orange extract
1 quick squirt of liquid Stevia (I use Skinny Girl)
seltzer water

margarita salt (optional)
lime slice for garnish and to wet your glass rim

Use the lime garnish to moisten the outer rim of your rocks glass.
Dip in margarita salt. (watch my video to see how I avoid getting salt in the bottom of your glass)
Add 5-6 ice cubes to your glass.
Then add another 5-6 ice cubes to your shaker.
To the shaker add in tequila, lime juice, orange extract, and stevia (or liquid sweetener of your choice).
Shake well.
Pour into your rocks glass and top off with a little seltzer water.
**If you use a bigger glass your drink will be more watered down with seltzer.**
Garnish with a lime and ENJOY!
