Ingredients
Scale
For the Margarita
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup triple sec
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 4 cups ice
For Garnish
- Margarita rimming salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Run a lime wedge along the rim of each margarita glass, then dip the rim into margarita rimming salt spread on a plate to coat it evenly. This step adds a salty contrast to the sweet and sour flavor of the drink.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, triple sec, agave syrup, and ice to a blender. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth, slushy consistency, making sure that the ice is fully crushed.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample your margarita and adjust the sweetness or strength as desired by adding more agave syrup or tequila. Blend again briefly if you add any adjustments.
- Serve: Pour the frozen margarita mixture into the prepared glasses. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing frozen cocktail.
Notes
- You can substitute agave syrup with simple syrup or honey if preferred.
- For a sweeter margarita, increase the agave syrup slightly.
- To make a strawberry or mango variation, add fresh or frozen fruit to the blender.
- The rimming salt can be omitted or replaced with a sugar rim for a sweeter edge.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
