Servings: 1 Margarita
Calories: 95kcal
Equipment
- Blender
- Cocktail glasses
- juicer
Ingredients
- 1 shot Tequila
- 1/2 shot Triple Sec
- 4-6 fresh limes
- 1 jalapeno
- 2-4 packets Splenda or other non-sugar sweetener
- 2 cups ice
- Salt for rimming
Instructions
- Add ice to your blender.
- Juice the limes and pour the juice over your ice.
- Add the sweetener, tequila, and triple sec to your blender.
- Add 2 or 3 slices of jalapeno to the ice (if you don't want your margarita to be really spicy, don't add the seeds). Blend until the ice is crushed.
- Rim the glass by coating the edge with lime juice and then dipping into salt.
- Pour the margarita mixture into the glass and serve.
Notes
- I recommend that you use a high powered blender like a Ninja for Vitamix if you want a smooth beverage with perfectly crushed ice.
- Instead of rimming your glass in salt, you could use sugar instead.
- For a beautiful garnish add some lime wedges or jalapeno slices to the rim of your glass.
- I highly recommend using fresh lime juice, but bottled juice will work in this cocktail also.
