I LOVE A MARGARITA, and this guilt-free recipe contains only 2 grams net carbs (if made with bottled lime juice) or 2.5 grams carbs (if using fresh lime juice). Cheers!

1.5 oz tequila — a jigger-full
1 oz lime juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
1 TB liquid artificial sweetener
Handful ice
Kosher salt

Wet glass rim, dip into salt. Combine all ingredients and shake in a cocktail shaker, or mix in the glass. Serve over ice, strained into the glass (or blended).
