Ingredients

Infused Tequila

  • ½ lemon sliced (optional)
  • 1 lime, sliced
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 ½ cup tequila

Sugar Free Blackberry Syrup

  • ½ cup Swerve sweetener
  • zest of 2 lime
  • 2 cup blackberries
  • 1 cup water

Tequila Sunset Drink (low carb)

  • 1 oz tequila infused or regular
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (bottled has 0 carbs)
  • 1-2 tablespoons blackberry syrup
  • blackberry seltzer water (or plain)

Instructions

To make the infused tequila

  1. Add the sliced lime and lemon to a large jar. Add in the berries and pour the tequila overtop and seal. Place in the refrigerator for a few days.

To make the blackberry syrup

  1. Add the. blackberries, Swerve sweetener, water and lime zest to a small pan. Mix as the sweetener starts to dissolve and crush the berries with a potato masher. Let simmer and thicken ( about 5 -10 minutes). 

  2. Strain into a small jar. Mine made roughly 5oz or 10 tablespoons.

To make the Tequila Sunset

  1. Add ice to glass. Pour over the 1 oz of infused tequila or regular tequila. Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice  and 1-2 tablespoons of the blackberry syrup. Add seltzer water to fill the glass. 

  2. NOTE: The carbs are very hard to calculate for the infusion and blackberry sauce. The Swerve, tequila, lime zest and juice have 0 net carbs. You are not eating the fruit in the infusion and just the juice in the sauce. So I highly recommend you do your own calculations.
