Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Tequila (preferably blanco)
- 1 cup Triple Sec (or orange liqueur)
- 1 cup Fresh lime juice
- 0.75 cups Simple syrup
- 2 cups Water
- 0.25 cups Kosher salt (for rim, optional)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or pitcher, combine the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and water. Stir well to combine.
Pour the mixture into a sealable, freezer-safe container such as a plastic or glass jar. Leave some space at the top to allow for expansion as it freezes.
Place the container in the freezer for at least 8 hours or overnight. The mixture won’t freeze solid due to the alcohol content but will develop a thick, slushy texture.
When ready to serve, prepare your glasses (optional): Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rims into a plate of kosher salt to coat.
Scoop the freezer margarita mixture into the prepared glasses. If it’s too thick, let it sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly.
Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly!
