Instructions

Prepare glasses

Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip the rims into a plate of coarse salt. Place glasses in the freezer to chill.

Pro tip: Chilling the glasses enhances the frosty experience.

Juice limes

Juice the limes to obtain 1 cup of fresh lime juice. Strain to remove pulp and seeds.

Pro tip: Use a citrus juicer for maximum juice extraction.

In a blender, combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Blend until smooth and slushy.

Pro tip: Start with less ice and add more if needed to reach desired thickness.

Taste and adjust

Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup if necessary. Blend again briefly.

Pro tip: Add more lime juice if you prefer a tangier drink.

Pour the frozen mixture into the chilled, salt-rimmed glasses. Garnish with lime wedges.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Frozen Margaritas in chilled glasses rimmed with salt to enhance the flavours. Pair them with spicy Mexican dishes or grilled seafood for a complete fiesta vibe.
