We loves us a frosty margarita, but did you know that one of those frosty beverages contains approximately 27 carbs and 246 calories thanks to the sugary mix most restaurants and pre-mixed bottles use? That’s more than a 1/2 cup serving of some Ben & Jerry’s ice creams. And, let’s face it, you know you’re going to have at least 2 drinks, but more likely 10.
Let’s spend our calories appropriately. Here’s a low carb and low calorie margarita recipe that we love. It’s super tasty, packs a punch, and is easy to make. De nada, reader!
Low Calorie Margarita Recipe – What You Need
- 2 shots tequila

How to Do It
