Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup silver tequila
- 1/2 cup cream of coconut
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur
- 3 cups ice
For Garnish (Optional)
- Lime wedges
- Shredded coconut for rimming glasses
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a high-powered blender, add the silver tequila, cream of coconut, fresh lime juice, triple sec or orange liqueur, and ice. This sets up the base for a smooth, frozen margarita.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until it transforms into a slushy, smooth texture, ensuring the ice is fully crushed and the ingredients are well mixed.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the margarita and adjust the sweetness or lime juice to your preference by adding more cream of coconut or lime juice if necessary.
- Prepare Glasses: If desired, rim your serving glasses by dipping the rims in lime juice, then into shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
- Serve: Pour the frozen margarita mixture into the prepared glasses, garnish with lime wedges, and serve immediately to enjoy the cocktail at its best frozen consistency.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, add a splash of simple syrup or agave nectar before blending.
- Use canned cream of coconut rather than coconut milk to achieve the best flavor and creamy consistency.
- Adjust the amount of ice based on desired thickness.
- Make sure to use fresh lime juice for the brightest citrus flavor.
