Tips and Tricks for making Margaritas:

If you do not need or want to finish all of the margaritas in the blender, just pour them into a zipper-top freezer bag and put it in the freezer for another time.

Alcohol does not freeze, so they will remain slushy and more like a true frozen margarita. This is also a great way to make them ahead of time for a party!!

  1. You just can’t beat a classic margarita made with fresh-squeezed lime juice! I love your tip to keep the mixture in a baggie in the freezer for a slushy consistency and to be party-ready, but I’m afraid your post has me pining for summer again… 😉
