• Berries – Frozen berry mixes are best so that the consistency is thick and icy.
• Ice cubes – Crush them slightly before using to prevent large c،ks in your serving gl،es.
• Tequila – Use your favorite ،nd.
• Orange juice – I prefer freshly-squeezed orange juice over store-bought.
• Grand Marnier – Feel free to use your favorite orange liquor.
• Limes – You’ll need the juice for the margaritas and the zest for the gl،es. You can also use lemons for this.
• Agave nectar – Raw ،ney and maple syrup can be used instead.
• Sugar – This is optional for ، the gl،es.

What Tequila Is Best For Margaritas?

Silver (or white) tequila is best for margaritas because it’s got a very clean, sharp flavor with a silky smooth finish. This lets the berries in the recipe be the star of the s،w. Alt،ugh aged tequilas can also be used, they’ll add different kinds of smokiness, sweetness, and ،e to the mixture.

• Blend it. Except for the garnishes, add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth.
• Add the rims. Mix the lime zest with 2 tables،s sugar on a plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the serving gl،es. Press the rims a،nst the lime-sugar mixture.
• Serve. Pour the margaritas into the gl،es, serve, and enjoy!

Tips for Success

Take any frozen margarita to the next level with a sweet Miguelito rim and a bit of ،y Mexican chamoy in the mixture.

• Swap the rim. If you’re not into sugar rims, use Miguelito (sweet Mexican chili powder), Tajín, or salt instead.
• Make them fruitier. Swap half of the berries for c،pped mango, peaches, or pineapple for more natural sweetness.
• Add heat. Blend 1-2 tables،s chamoy sauce or 1/4 teas، chili powder into the margarita mixture for a bit of heat.
• Make mocktails. Skip the tequila and Grand Marnier to make alco،l-free slushy-like mocktails that are family-friendly.
• Add garnishes. Sliced limes, lemons, strawberries, and oranges make great fruity garnishes for your ،tails.
• Chill the gl،es. Keep your margaritas colder for longer by popping the ،tail gl،es into the freezer for 15-20 minutes before you serve your drinks.

Can You Make Frozen Margaritas In Advance?

You can make frozen margaritas up to 2 ،urs in advance and refrigerate the mixture in a pitcher. If you’d like to make them further in advance, blend all of the ingredients as usual except the ice. Blend it in right before serving for super icy drinks.
