INGREDIENTS

• 1 ounce of fresh lime juice
• Liquid stevia or monkfruit, about four drops
• 1/2 ounce of sugar-free syrup(orange-flavored)
• Ice, half a cup

INGREDIENT NOTES

JALAPENO

• Its addition would spice up your drink. Use the sliced jalapeno according to your level of spice tolerance.

WATERMELON

• Remove the watermelon seeds and use a cup of its chunks. The chunks add some carbs, but the drink will still be keto if you use them in moderation. You may use watermelon-flavored sparkling water if you are following the strict keto diet.

RIM DECORATION

• Use salt or Tajin for rim decoration. Tajin is a mild spice blend. Both salt and Tajin will boost the flavor of the margarita.

TEQUILA

• Using the silver tequila will flavor up your margaritas, as they are low in carbs. Otherwise, some flavored versions may increase your carb intake.

SWEETENER

• To keep it strictly keto, use either the liquid stevia or monk fruit. Avoid natural honey or agave nectar, as they contain more carbs than stevia and monkfruit.

ORANGE-FLAVORED SYRUP

• Look for the sugar-free syrup in famous brands like Torani or Jordan’s Skinny Syrup.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. First, wet the rim of the glass using a lime wedge.
2. Dip that wet rim in salt or Taji and keep them in a corner.
3. Shift the sliced jalapeno to the cocktail shaker.
4. This will help to release the spice well.
5. Then add all the remaining ingredients without ice and blend or shake well.
6. Now add ice cubes and shake well for around twenty seconds.
7. After that, filter the beverage into the ready-made glass.
8. Add a wedge of lime or an extra jalapeño slice as a garnish.
9. Your Keto Spicy Watermelon Margarita is ready to serve.

TIPS

• Taste and adjust the sweetness level as per your requirement.
• To get the chilled margarita, freeze the watermelon chunks earlier so you will not need ice. That’s how you will get the strong taste.
• Use the seeds of jalapeno to have a spicy kick. Gently crush the jalapenos if you want the drink to be spicier.

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS:

CHILLING:

• Save the margarita left behind in a jar secured with an airtight lid. It will be safe in the refrigerator only for the following 24 hours.

FREEZING

• Fill the tray of ice cubes with the margarita. You only need to blend for a quick frozen margarita right before serving
