🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Stevia reduces calories, while granulated sugar is often more affordable.

Prepare the syrup by combining 120 milliliters of water and 50 grams of sugar in a small pan.

Heat the water on a low setting (4 or 5 on induction) and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Once the sugar is dissolved and the water is transparent, remove from heat.

Juice about three limes using an electric juicer to obtain 120 milliliters of lime juice.

Mix the lime juice with the cooled sugar syrup and place it in the fridge for about half an hour to cool down.

After the syrup has cooled, prepare the margarita cocktail by mixing 90 milliliters of Blanco tequila and 60 milliliters of Cointreau in a glass.

Prepare the glasses by rubbing the rim with a lime wedge and dipping it in coarse salt.

Add ice cubes to the glass (about 5-6 cubes) and pour the margarita mixture over the ice.

Stir the cocktail gently in the glass and serve.
