Equipment

▢
High Speed Blender
▢
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

▢ 1 can 12 oz Frozen limeade concentrate
▢ 1 1/2 cups Tequila chilled
▢ 1/2 cup Triple sec
▢ 2 cups Crushed ice preferably finely crushed
▢ 1 lime Lime wedges for garnish and extra brightness
▢ Salt to rim glasses Salt (optional) flaky sea salt recommended
▢ 1-2 tablespoons Simple syrup optional, to balance tartness

Instructions

Chill the tequila and lime juice in the freezer for at least an hour to keep everything icy and refreshing.
Pour the frozen limeade concentrate into your high-speed blender, followed by the chilled tequila and triple sec.
Add the crushed ice to the blender, filling it up to about the 2-cup mark for a velvety, slushy texture.
Secure the lid and blend on high until the mixture is smooth, frosty, and vibrant in color—about 30-60 seconds. You should hear the ice crunch and see a thick, slushy consistency form.
Taste the slushie and, if desired, add a splash of simple syrup to sweeten or a squeeze of fresh lime for extra zing. Blend briefly again to incorporate.
If you want salted rims, rub a lime wedge around the edge of each glass and dip into flaky sea salt.
Pour the icy margarita mixture into the prepared glasses, filling them generously.
Garnish each glass with a lime wedge for a bright pop of color and flavor, then serve immediately for the best icy texture.

Notes

For an extra smoky twist, swap the tequila for mezcal. Adjust sweetness with more or less simple syrup depending on your taste. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect icy texture.
