Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups ice cubes preferably crushed or small cubed for easier blending
  • 1 ¼ oz tequila prefer silver or blanco tequila
  • 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed for best flavor
  • ½ oz orange liqueur such as Triple Sec or Cointreau
  • 1 tsp simple syrup adjust for sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the ice cubes into your blender, ensuring they’re evenly distributed for smooth blending.
  2. Pour in the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup over the ice.
  3. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy, with mini ice crystals visible and well incorporated, about 30-45 seconds.
  4. Stop the blender and check the texture—if it’s too thick, add a splash of lime juice or water and blend briefly to loosen it.
  5. Pour the frozen margarita slushie into chilled glasses, filling them just to the rim to showcase the vibrant icy texture.
  6. Garnish with lime wedges or slices if desired and serve immediately for the best refreshing experience.
