Keto margarita recipe provided by Veronica Culver, The Enchanted Cook

Fresh muddled strawberries, apple cider vinegar or lime juice, and a no-sugar sweetener provide a fresh, keto-friendly take on the margarita just in time for Cinco de Mayo. This low-carb margarita recipe uses clear tequila, which has no carbs and is naturally gluten-free. Muddling the strawberries with a no-sugar sweetener such as birch xylitol adds just the right amount of sweetness to the fresh berries and keeps your net carbs low — just 1 gram per drink.

If you choose to use apple cider vinegar over fresh lime juice, your margarita will be a little more acidic than you’re probably used to — think strawberry shrub-like in taste. If you need convincing, read up on all health benefits of apple cider vinegar, including how it boosts ketosis.

Drinking alcohol isn’t Bulletproof, but many of us do it – especially to celebrate good times with friends and family, like during holidays and festivities including Cinco de Mayo. If you choose to drink, this guide will help minimize your hangover.
