Sugar-free margarita recipe for Cinco De Mayo (or any other day)
The average margarita can have up to 31 grams of sugar, or about two tablespoons, in a single serving. That sugar can do a lot of damage to your teeth over time. Instead, try this tooth-friendly version that will keep your mouth and teeth happy. And don’t forget, you can substitute sparkling water or club soda for tequila to make the margarita non-alcoholic.
