Equipment

- Mixing pitcher or shaker – to combine ingredients before freezing
- Glasses for serving – margarita glasses preferred

Instructions
- Prepare your glasses: Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into salt or sugar on a plate to coat. Set aside.
- Juice the limes: Using a citrus juicer, squeeze enough limes to yield 1 cup of fresh juice.
- Mix the liquids: In a pitcher or shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup (or agave nectar). Stir or shake well to blend.
- Add the ice: Pour the liquid mixture into your margarita machine’s freezing compartment, then add the ice as per your machine’s instructions.
- Start the margarita machine: Turn it on and allow the machine to blend and freeze the mixture until it reaches a slushy consistency (usually 10-15 minutes).
- Serve immediately: Pour the frozen margarita into your prepared glasses.
- Garnish: Add lime wedges or your choice of fresh fruit or chili slices for added flair.
- Enjoy responsibly!
Tips & Variations
“For the best flavor, always use fresh lime juice and quality tequila.”
To customize your margarita, try these variations:
- Strawberry Margarita: Add 1 cup of fresh or frozen strawberry puree before blending.
- Mango Margarita: Substitute mango puree for strawberry for a tropical twist.
- Spicy Jalapeño Margarita: Muddle a few slices of jalapeño with the lime juice before mixing.
- Frozen Margarita Slush: Freeze the mixture in ice cube trays and blend cubes in the machine for a super frosty drink.
- Non-alcoholic Version: Omit tequila and triple sec; replace with lime soda and orange juice for a refreshing mocktail.
Don’t forget to experiment with rimming salts! Try chili salt, Tajín, or even sugar-cinnamon blends to complement your flavor choice.
