This was amazing! I did have to add a little more sweetener but it was chefs kiss!!
This recipe was phenomenal! I added Rediwhip for more fun and color. I also used VitaIce orange mango and monk fruit stevia drops. So easy and healthy! Thanks
Great taste! Depending on the size of your shaker and cup you’re serving it in, you might need to add more sugar & soda to taste right.

Thank you for the receipt! I made mine with 2 ice cubes, 1.5 shot lime juice, a little of liquid stevia, 2 shots of orange Seltzer water, and 2 shots silver tequila mixed in a 12 oz cup. My fitness pal app says each 12 oz cup is 247 calories
Superb. I keep trying this with different LaCroix and am never disappointed! This tastes like the real deal!
Absolutely delicious. I used fresh squeezed organic lime juice. Tres organic white tequila. I instead used one packet of truvia, therefore a little lower in carbs.. I used Polar tangerine lemon seltzer. Additionally, I added Angostura Orange Bitters for more orange flavor. Fresh and mostly organic. Refreshing. A brand new Keto drink to add to my weekend lineup of choice Keto drinks. Thank you.
Perfect! Used powdered Swerve and grapefruit LaCroix and organic tequila. Pretty much guilt free!
Amazing. Better than expected. I made regular margs for the family, then made this one for me, and it was just as good.
I loved it! I’ve been pining for a margarita but will NOT do sugar due to the Keto plan that is working so well. This recipe hit the spot. I did add a little more tequila just to keep it nice and strong.
This was a great low carb option for a margarita. It was delicious and refreshing! I did double the lime juice and I absolutely love the touch of sparkling water. Thank you for the recipe!
Used lime instead of orange sparkling water and it was still delicious! This will be a summer staple!
We made it and were VERY impressed with the outcome. We used swerve as the sweetener and there was no aftertaste. I would never have thought to use the orange LaCroix sparkling water as my topper, but it was ideal. Tasted like a margarita you might get at a restaurant, and it really hit the spot!
Refreshing! Love the taste. I crushed my ice ! Definitely make again
Used strawberry sparkling water
Definitely will make again!
I really liked this. It is so nice to be able to find a drink recipe that fits into my diet. Living in Florida, a margarita really hits the spot and it’s good to know I can enjoy one without totally falling off the keto wagon! I have made this with the sweetener and without. I like it better without because I am not a big fan of sweet drinks anyways. I think the lime juice adds enough sweet/tartness. But that is my personal preference.
