Low-carb Margarita recipe?!
Looking for help making a low-carb margarita, with fairly common ingredients!. I know i won't get no-carb since tequila has some in it!.
sofar i can find mixes by companies like Baja Bob's that use splenda, but they arn't available locally and don't want to order it online!.
The closest thing i can think of is a sugar-free limeade drink for the base-flavor, but i can't even find those!.!.!. the closest i can find is kool-aid lemon-lime drink mix that is unsweetened, and i could add my own artificial sweetener to!.
So, if i use this sweetener for 2-quarts!.!.!. load my blender up with crushed ice!.!. add however much sweetener the mix recommends, i will need to add water in addition to the tequila!.!.!. should i use 1/4 the amount!? in stead of 2-quarts, do 2 cups!? and then of course about a cup of tequila and all that ice, which some will melt!.

Just use fresh lime or lemon juice instead of a sour mix!. None of that sweetener crap and it will taste a lot better too!. Just mix the juice, tequila and triple sec in a pitcher and serve over ice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
