A killer happy hour cocktail awaits with this sugar-free Margarita recipe!

Use Stevia or your favorite sugar-free syrup to shake up a delicious and refreshing sugar free Margarita real quick!

Zero Sugar Margarita

While mixing up my Low-Calorie Margarita for happy hour, my friend Anne asked if I had any Stevia or sugar-free syrup to add to hers. After a few shakes, everyone voted unanimously that this zero-sugar Margarita was a hit!

While the Skinny Margarita is lower in alcohol and uses orange juice, this sugar-free margarita keeps all the alcohol from the Classic Margarita recipe but swaps the simple syrup for a zero-sugar one.

Ingredients

You'll need tequila, triple sec or Cointreau, lime juice (freshly squeezed is always best!), and a sugar-free cocktail syrup like this one: since it's already dissolved, it works best instead of using a keto agave or honey, which tends to be thicker and won't mix up as well.

How to Make a Sugar Free Margarita

  1. Prep the glass with salt or a granulated zero-calorie sweetener.
  2. Fill the cocktail shaker with all the ingredients and give them a good shake until the sides are nice and frosted.
  3. Pour and garnish with a lime wedge for extra flavor, or squeeze it directly into the glass. Enjoy!

Whether you are keeping it low-sugar or low-calorie, you'll love some of my other recipes like my Skinny Blackberry Margarita, a Skinny Strawberry Margarita, or this Skinny Spicy Margarita for an added kick!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ ounces tequila
  • 1 ½ ounce triple sec or Cointreau
  • ¾ ounce fresh lime lime, about 1 lime
  • ½ ounce Sugar free cocktail syrup
  • Salt for rimming, optional

Instructions

Prep:

  • If you enjoy a salted glass, prep the rim of your glass by rubbing a lime wedge along the rim. Dip in tequila salt, and set aside.

Make the marg:

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, triple sec or Cointreau, lime juice, and sugar-free cocktail syrup. Shake until the sides are fully frosted.

Serve:

  • Pour shaken mixture into prepared glass and garnish with a lime wedge. Enjoy!

Notes

Make it a pitcher that serves 8 by combining 1 ½ cups tequila, 1 ¼ cups Cointreau or Triple Sec, 1 cup lime juice (about 6-8 limes), and 1 cup of sugar free cocktail syrup. I give it a stir and refrigerate it for one hour. Serve over fresh ice and garnish with lime wedges.

    This is not a sugar free recipe. Cointreau Has almost twice the sugar content of a can of Coke per fluid ounce. Don’t believe me? Check it out on Google.

      Sugar-free means no added sugar as in simple syrup. It's not alcohol free and yes, alcohols has sugar. I think you might be looking for a skinny margarita, which is without cointreau.

    Cointreau or Triple Sec are not sugar-free. How do you represent this drink as sugar-free?
