A typical margarita would have triple sec in it, which is a citrus infused sweet liquor. In this recipe, we use orange extract instead of triple sec and lime juice concentrate to yield a margarita that has zero net carbs.
The triple sec and sweetener in a classic margarita contain too much sugar and too many carbs. To get around this, we use a sugar-free sweetener (monkfruit blend sweetener) and orange extract in our low carb margarita as they give off the same taste that the triple sec would give in a traditional margarita.
