Description
This Frozen Margarita recipe is a refreshing and easy-to-make cocktail perfect for warm weather or casual gatherings. Combining the tangy zest of freshly squeezed lime juice with the smooth flavors of reposado tequila and Cointreau, sweetened with agave nectar, this slushy drink is blended with ice for a perfectly chilled and frosty treat.
Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- ¼ cup Cointreau
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- ½ cup Reposado Tequila (we love Exotico)
- ¼ cup agave nectar
Ice
- 2 cups ice (more if needed)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the Cointreau, freshly squeezed lime juice, reposado tequila, and agave nectar into a high-powered blender. This ensures all the flavors blend smoothly together.
- Add Ice: Add 2 cups of ice to the blender with the liquids. The ice will create the frozen texture essential for a frozen margarita.
- Blend: Blend the mixture until smooth and icy. If the mixture is too thin or not slushy enough, gradually add more ice and blend again until you achieve your desired frozen consistency.
- Serve: Pour the frozen margarita into chilled glasses and enjoy immediately for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
- Reposado tequila adds a richer flavor compared to blanco tequila.
- Adjust the amount of agave nectar to taste for sweetness.
- For a salted rim, rub the glass rim with lime and dip it into coarse salt before serving.
- Use a high-powered blender to ensure the mixture blends smoothly without large ice chunks.
