Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Tequila
- 2 ounces Orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 2.5 ounces Fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce Simple syrup (optional)
- 3 cups Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Coarse salt
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Prepare your glasses first: Spread the coarse salt on a small plate. Take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of each glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into the salt, twisting slightly to ensure even coating. Set the glasses aside.
Combine the tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, simple syrup (if using), and ice cubes in a blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and slushy, typically for about 30–45 seconds.
Taste the margarita mixture and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup if needed.
Pour the frosty margaritas evenly into the prepared glasses.
Garnish each glass with a lime wedge on the rim for added flair.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing frosted margaritas!
