Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh watermelon (seedless, cubed)
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 ounces Tequila (silver or blanco)
- 1 teaspoon Orange extract (sugar-free, optional for flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Granular erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 cup Crushed ice
- 1 tablespoon Salt (optional, for rimming the glass)
- 1 wedge Lime wedge (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If rimming the glass, run a lime wedge around the rim of a margarita or cocktail glass. Dip the rim into a small plate of salt until evenly coated. Set the glass aside.
In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes, freshly squeezed lime juice, tequila, orange extract (if using), and granular erythritol.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and evenly combined.
Add the crushed ice to the blender and blend again until the texture is slushy and smooth.
Taste the margarita and adjust sweetness with more erythritol, if necessary.
Pour the mixture into the prepared glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge, if desired, and serve immediately.
