countertop blender

Ingredients

1 cup tequila
1 cup fresh lime juice
½ cup triple sec
3 tablespoons agave syrup
6 cups ice

Instructions

Add your ingredients to a countertop blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into margarita glasses rimmed with salt (optional) and garnish with lime wedge.

Notes

TIP: If your drink looks too "loose" and not slushy enough, add a little more ice and blend again until desired thickness is achieved. If it ever gets too thick to drink or pour, add a little more of each liquid ingredient and blend again.

What can I use instead of orange liqueur?

While it's popular to use Cointreau or Grand Marnier in place of triple sec in margarita recipes, you can also use fresh orange juice to add an orange flavor and natural sweetness if that's all you have on hand.

How do I make a pitcher of frozen margaritas?

To make a pitcher that serves eight, simply double this recipe and pour into a pitcher to serve in salt-rimmed glasses. You can also store the pitcher in the freezer for a few hours before the party or in between servings to help keep it cold and slushy.
