HOW TO MAKE A KETO MARGARITA
STEP 1: MAKING THE MARGARITAS
First, rim two glasses with salt and set them aside to dry. Then to make the orange syrup, put the water, erythritol, and orange zest into a large cup and give them a little mix to combine.
Next, pour the orange syrup through a mesh sieve into the blender add the ice, tequila, and lime juice, and blend for a few seconds until the ingredients are combined. Then, add the sparkling water to the blender and pulse to combine everything.
STEP 2: SERVING THE KETO MARGARITAS
Now that your margarita is ready to drink grab the two prepared glasses you set aside earlier. Then put a few ice cubes in each glass, pour half of the blended margarita into each, and decorate with a lime slice and mint leaf. Cheers!

This was wonderful! Fresh tasting, tart, not overly sweet. We enjoyed this along with our Cinco de Mayo low-carb taco salads. Will definitely be making again.
