Luscious Frozen Cherry Margarita: 2 Blissful Servings

Frozen Cherry Margarita

A refreshing and fruity twist on a classic margarita, perfect for sipping on a hot summer day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen cherries
  • 1.5 oz tequila
  • 0.75 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
  • 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • Ice (optional, for a thicker consistency)
  • Garnish: lime wheel, cherry, salt rim (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your glass: If you like a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip it in coarse salt.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a blender, add the frozen cherries, tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup (if using).
  3. Blend: Blend until smooth and slushy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or more lime juice. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
  4. Serve: Pour the margarita into your prepared glass.
  5. Garnish: Add a lime wheel or a cherry for garnish. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the tequila and orange liqueur. Add a little more cherry juice or a splash of grenadine for sweetness and color.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup, or by using sweeter cherries.
  • Experiment with different types of tequila for a unique flavor profile.
