Sugar Free Margarita

I love margaritas but hate the high sugar content. I found this substitute on the internet. Using fresh lime juice is essential in this great tasting recipe.

Ingredients:

1 jigger (1.5 oz) tequila
2 Tablespoons (1 oz) lime juice - bottled more convenient, fresh tastes a lot better
1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) water
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
1 Tablespoon's worth artificial sweetener (I like to use liquid, carb-free types)
Ice - small handful
Margarita salt or kosher salt

Preparation:

Wet the rim of the glass and dip into a small plate of salt.

Combine all ingredients. You can either serve it over ice or strained into the glass, or blended in a blender.
