  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice about 2 limes
  • 1 cup tequila blanco preferred
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 3 cups ice cubes

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Juice the limes until you have about half a cup of fresh lime juice, then set it aside.
  2. Add the lime juice, tequila, simple syrup, and ice cubes into the blender jar.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high until the mixture becomes thick, slushy, and smooth, about 30-40 seconds.
  4. Stop the blender and check the texture; it should be soft, icy, and well combined. If needed, blend for a few more seconds.
  5. Pour the frozen margarita slushie into glasses, allowing the icy texture to mound attractively in each
  6. Garnish with lime wedges or a sprinkle of salt on the rim if desired, then serve immediately for a refreshing, chilled beverage.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness or tartness by adding more or less simple syrup or lime juice. For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut cream or alternative milk before blending.
