Chef's Pro Tip

For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice, it makes all the difference. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less keto-friendly sweetener to suit your taste. If you prefer a salt rim, be sure to use kosher salt for a coarser, more traditional look.

Serve this keto margarita with keto-friendly appetizers like guacamole and pork rinds, cheese crisps, or cauliflower nachos. It's also a perfect pairing for grilled meats or seafood if you're serving it at a barbecue or taco night!

Enjoy a guilt-free keto margarita, classic in flavor and perfect for happy hour, whether on the rocks or frozen.
