Your Margarita recipe is all carby. No good. My recipe has almost zero carbs. Very good. Well, I wouldn't say mine's all carby, but, yes, your recipe has fewer carbs, by virtue of having less lime juice. In my recipe, of course I intended to use carb-less bar syrup and Triple Sec, so the only carb is from lime, about 3 grams/ounce. This could be a problem, if you had several drinks in a hurry, but spaced out, it should be all right. I went back and edited the earlier post, to mention that that recipe is what we used for a pitcher that has to hold up well to dilution. I'd make it different, as a single drink. I suppose one could use citric acid and a few drops of Boyajian lime oil, and have NO carbs at all. Hmmm... "The rum's the thing..." [ Edited by: Limbo Lizard 2011-08-02 10:53 ]
