Ingredients
1/4 cup (2 oz) tequila (silver/blanco is preferred)
2 tablespoons (1 oz) triple sec or orange liqueur
2 tablespoons (1 oz) freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon simple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
1 1/2 cups ice cubes
Lime zest and lime slices, for garnish (optional)
Coarse salt for rimming the glass (optional)
Directions
1. Prepare the Glasses (Optional)
If you’d like a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the edge of each glass.
Dip the rims into a small plate of coarse salt. Set aside.
2. Add Ingredients to the Blender
In the blender, add the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice cubes.
Secure the lid tightly.
3. Blend to Perfection
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency.
4. Serve
Pour the frozen margarita into the prepared glasses.
Garnish with lime zest and a slice of lime on the rim for a vibrant finish.
Tips for the Perfect Margarita:
Adjust Sweetness: Add more or less simple syrup to match your desired sweetness level.
Customize: For a fruity twist, add a handful of frozen strawberries or mango chunks before blending.
Upgrade Your Liqueur: Swap triple sec for Grand Marnier or Cointreau for a richer flavor.
Batch Recipe: Double or triple the ingredients to serve a crowd.
