What’s in This Frozen Margarita Recipe?

You really can’t go wrong with a classic margarita, and when they are frozen, they are so much better! This is a real summertime indulgence, and I honestly think it’s the best blended marg recipe out there! I’ve created it with just a handful of simple ingredients and in five minutes and you will have a zingy and flavorful cocktail. Get ready to be transported to a beach without a care in the world.

Cointreau: This orange liqueur is a staple in margaritas. I prefer Cointreau over triple sec, but either will work. Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice is the key to a delicious margarita. Don’t use bottled lime juice; it just won’t taste the same! Tequila: Choose a good-quality Reposado tequila for the smoothest, best-tasting margaritas. Agave Syrup: Agave nectar is a great all-natural sweetener. Use more or less depending on your tastes. Ice: Blend these margs with a good bit of ice for a slushy, thirst-quenching drink!

Variations to Try

Smoky: I swap the Reposado tequila for Mezcal for smoky margaritas. Spicy: I muddle a few jalapeño slices in the bottom of each glass before pouring in the margarita, or add some chili powder to the salt rim. Fruity: You can add ½ cup of just about any frozen fruit to this recipe to make fruity frozen margs. Do not use fresh fruit, as it will make them watery! Virgin: When I want to make these nonalcoholic, I simply swap the tequila for sparkling water and the Cointreau for orange juice. Blend these mocktails without the sparkling water, then top them off with sparkling water just before serving.

How to Store

You can mix together the Cointreau, lime juice, tequila, and agave and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Simply pour this mixture into the blender with ice and blend to serve.

How to Freeze 

You can also batch and freeze margaritas. Simply pour individual margaritas into glass jars, seal, and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Serve directly from the freezer!

Serving Suggestions

I’m a huge fan of Mexican food, and I just love pairing delicious food with delicious margaritas! Try these margs with Baked Chicken Tacos, White Queso, or Mexican Grilled Corn. These are also great Cinco de Mayo margaritas to serve with all your favorite appetizers.

Notes from the Test Kitchen

When it comes to garnish, I like to keep it classic and simple. A salt rim and a slice of lime is really all you need.
