Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup silver tequila
- 0.5 cup orange liqueur (like triple sec or Cointreau)
- 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 0.25 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 0.5 cup ice cold water
- 0.25 cup kosher salt or sugar (for glass rim, optional)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (for garnish)
- 4 pieces fresh berries (strawberries or raspberries, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the bowl is frozen solid, if applicable.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, raspberries, silver tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup, and cold water. Blend until smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired.
Pour the berry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher to remove seeds, pressing gently with a spatula to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
Transfer the strained liquid to the prepared ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency, about 20 minutes.
If desired, rim the glasses with salt or sugar. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rims into a plate of kosher salt or sugar.
Spoon the slushy margarita mixture into the prepared glasses.
Garnish with a lime wedge and fresh berries, and serve immediately.
