MACROS/CALORIES EXPLAINED
There is alcohol in this drink, making the technical carbs a little confusing. While alcohol is not one of the 3 major macronutrients of food, it still has calories in it that need to be accounted for; making it known to many as the "4th macronutrient."
Since the calories of this drink still need to be accounted for somewhere, I went ahead and did that by logging this margarita as just carbs. That is what is reflected in the calories/carbs you see below and in MFP.
Technically, there are just 6g of carbs in this drink from the margarita mixer (2g) and the popsicle (4g). The tequila has zero carbs, but again, the alcohol is still calories that need to be accounted for.
I prefer to do this in the form of carbs, but you can also do this by dividing between carbs and/or fats as you seem fit.
