Equipment

  • Blender
  • Margarita machine (optional)
  • Margarita glass
  • Small plate for salt or Tajín
  • Measuring jigger
  • Citrus juicer
  • Spoon or spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 oz tequila blanco
  • 1 oz orange liqueur triple sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier
  • 1 oz lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup or agave syrup, to taste
  • 1.5 cups ice add more if needed for thickness
  • kosher salt or tajín for the rim
  • 1 wedge lime for garnish

Instructions

  • Rim a chilled margarita glass with lime, then dip into kosher salt or tajín.
  • Add tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, simple (or agave) syrup, and ice to the blender.
  • Blend on high until smooth and thick; add a little more ice if you prefer a thicker texture.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed, then pour into the prepared glass.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.

Notes

Fresh lime juice gives the brightest flavor. Keep ingredients chilled for a thicker, longer‑lasting slush. For a fruit twist, blend in a handful of frozen strawberries or mango. To batch, multiply ingredients and blend in rounds so the texture stays consistent.
