If you like the taste of a margarita, you’ll love this frozen version, which has little in common with the overly sweet convenience store slushes that pass for frozen margaritas in some chain restaurants.
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups ice
4 ounces tequila
2 ounces triple sec
3 ounces sweetened bottled lime juice
Method:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender.
2. Cover and pulse on and off until the mixture starts to swirl evenly.
3. Blend on high for 20 seconds, or until the drink is completely smooth.
Variations
Banana Margarita Add 2 ounces crème de banane and 1 banana, peeled, broken into pieces, and semi-frozen, before blending.
Blueberry Margarita Omit the triple sec. Add 2 ounces blue curaçao instead, and add ½ cup semi-frozen blueberries before blending.
Cinnamon Orange Margarita Add ½ cup semi-frozen orange sections and 2 ounces cinnamon schnapps before blending.
Melon Margarita Add ½ cup semi-frozen melon balls and 2 ounces melon liqueur (such as Midori) before blending.
Raspberry Margarita Add ½ cup semi-frozen raspberries and 2 ounces raspberry liqueur (such as Chambord or crème de framboise) before blending.
Strawberry Margarita Add ½ cup semi-frozen strawberries and 2 ounces strawberry liqueur (such as crème de fraise) before blending.
