3 Ingredient Skinny Margarita

This delicious, low-carb margarita recipe is perfect at the end of a hot summer day...

Mix up a big batch and take it to the next party you attend. You won't need to worry about having a keto-friendly drink and your friends will love it!

To make this skinny low-carb margarita, all you need is lime juice, liquid stevia, and tequila.

When I filmed this recipe, we had just returned from a vacation in Cancun and brought back a bottle of Don Julio which is pictured. It's our favorite tequila. I actually enjoy sipping an ounce by itself from time to time as the flavor is so crisp and clean.

Whats your favorite tequila? Tell me in the comments!

But Wait....Are you allowed to drink alcohol on the Keto Diet?

Yes. Alcohol (and this low-carb margarita) can have a place in your Keto Diet in moderation.

Here's a few things you should know...

First...Be in a state of ketosis for at least ten days before experimenting with adding alcohol.

Preferentially, avoid alcohol your first two to three weeks while your body adapts to this new way of eating. For instance, don't mix up this low-carb margarita until you've become fat-adapted. Otherwise, it could undo all your hard work.

Second...If you're going to enjoy a low-carb margarita or other cocktails, pair it with fat. My favorite way to do this is with cheese or a fat bomb!

Finally...

Realize that alcohol is processed in your body similarly to sugar (but actually faster).

Alcohol has a place only in moderation. Drinking regularly will hinder your weight loss goals.

📖 Recipe

Low Carb Margarita for the Keto Diet

This sugar free margarita has just three ingredients (plus water) and is simple to mix up. Many margarita recipes call for Triple Sec which we have omitted to make this more authentic-- like what you'd drink in Mexico! This also keeps the carb count much lower.

This Keto Margarita recipe has just three net carbs and 76 calories per serving.

To make this a non alcoholic low carb margarita, simply omit the tequila.

You can jazz up this recipe a little more by using sparkling water instead of plain water!
