This Classic Frozen Margarita Recipe is slushy, frosty, and delicious! So simple and easy to make restaurant-quality frozen margaritas right in your own kitchen. Is it the perfect cocktail for cooling down and relaxing on those hot, sunny days.
The traditional ingredients in a Margarita are tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice…that’s it! I prefer mine blender so that is what we are doing today! If you would prefer a Classic Margarita on the Rocks, head on over to that post.
Cabo Wabo and Jose Cuervo Silver are my go-to tequila brands, and I have included both lime wedges and wheels as options to garnish your cocktail along with some course salt.
Margaritas seemed like the perfect way to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, which starts today. I don’t know if it is because I grew up in Southern California, but Mexican food has always been one of my favorites!
How to make a Frozen Margarita:
Fill glasses with ice and water to chill. Pour out ice and water. Rub lime peel around the rim of glasses…
and dip into course salt. Set aside.
Pour the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and ice into a blender.
Blend until thick and frothy. Pour into salt-rimed glasses and serve immediately.
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!!
