Ingredients
2 oz (60ml) 100% agave tequila blanco
1 oz (30ml) fresh lime juice
0.75 oz (22ml) orange liqueur (such as Cointreau)
0.5 oz (15ml) agave nectar or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
1.5 cups (about 240g) ice cubes
Lime wedges, for garnish
Coarse salt, for rimming (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your serving glass by moistening the rim with a lime wedge, then dipping it into coarse salt. Set aside.
Step 2: In a high-speed blender, combine the tequila blanco, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar.
Step 3: Add the ice cubes to the blender. Ensure the ice is slightly more than the liquid volume for optimal slushy consistency.
Step 4: Secure the lid and blend on a low setting, gradually increasing to high. Use a tamper if necessary, blending until the mixture is completely smooth and thick, with no ice chunks remaining (about 30-60 seconds).
Step 5: Pour the blended frozen margarita into your prepared, chilled glass. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and serve immediately.
Notes
For a pitcher, multiply ingredients by the number of servings desired. Blend in batches if your blender isn't large enough. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less agave nectar. For fruit variations, add 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen fruit per serving.
