If you want to know how to make a frozen margarita, then you’re on the right page. We offer the best margarita recipe on our site but this recipe offers you 4 simple main ingredients to perfect your alcoholic drink. It’s simple and very easy to mix.

  • Tequila – This earthy and fruity beverage is the base for our margarita. You can find this famous bottle in many different names such as Patron, Herradura, or Don Julio. You can use any tequila of your choice.
  • Triple Sec– The strong and bittersweet flavor of this liquor will give your margarita the blast that we’re looking for. You can opt to use Jacquin’s, Mr Stack’s, or Doc Well’s.
  • Lime Juice – If you can’t get fresh lime fruits, you can get the juice mixture instead. This is a key ingredient for our margarita drink. The tangy and bitter taste of lime juice enhances the flavors of the margarita.

Tips In Making Our Frozen Margarita Recipe

To achieve a perfectly slushy margarita, we’re glad to give you some tips that would help you in making it.

  • Use the best tequila and triple sec for margaritas. There is a wide range of tequila and triple sec that you could choose from in making your margarita, we suggest using a tequila with a sweet and light taste.
  • Use a high-quality blender. Make sure the blender is strong enough to break down the ice to give you the slushy and thick consistency that we want.
  • Make sure to add in enough ice. To estimate the amount of ice, fill the glass of your margarita with the amount of ice you’re going to use. Don’t overdo the amount because we don’t want the ice to subdue the flavor of your alcohol. 
  • Add fruity flavors into your margarita. Blend in pureed fruits like watermelon, strawberry, peach, or any fresh fruit of your choice and give your margarita a totally new package.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I replace tequila with other liquor?

Definitely! You can use gin, vodka, or rum. You may use the same ingredients we used in this recipe and replace the tequila with these options to make your margarita.

Is salt necessary to put around the rim?

We recommend adding salt around the rim as this tones down the level of bitterness of your drink while it enhances the sweet and sour blast of flavor of the alcohol mix. We suggest using kosher salt for this one, but feel free to replace it with sugar if you like.
