Slushy Blended Margarita

By á-174535

The perfect frozen margarita uses a good quality tequila and orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau. Enjoy and drink responsibly!

Ingredients

• 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 ounces simple syrup
• 2 ounces 100 percent agave tequila
• 1 ounce good-quality orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier
• 3/4 cup ice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine lime juice, simple syrup, tequila, and orange liqueur in a blender and top with ice. Blend on high until ice is broken up. Serve immediately.

Note:

What to buy: Get the best-quality 100 percent agave tequila you can afford; it’ll taste better, and you won’t be as regretful the day after.

Also, try to use Cointreau or Grand Marnier instead of Triple Sec—they’re not as sugary and have a truer orange flavor.
