  • 4 limes 2 limes juiced, 1 lime zested, 1 lime cut into slices for lime wheels
  • 4 oz silver tequila
  • 2 oz triple sec
  • 1 1/2 oz agave or simple syrup (optional)
  • 2 cups ice
  • salt and lime zest mixture

Equipment

  • a high-speed blender

Method
 

  1. Make a salt and lime zest mixture for the rim:
    Pour some salt into a shallow plate and zest a lime directly into the salt. Rum the lime zest into the salt to impart flavor.
    Cut a lime into wedges and rub the flesh against the rim of the glass in a circular motion. Dip the glass upside down into the salt and lime zest mixture and carefully press down. Set them aside.
  2. To prepare the frozen margarita mixture add the tequila, strawberries (fresh AND frozen), triple sec and agave syrup to a blender or food processor. Blend for about 30 seconds or until the mix is smooth.
  3. Toss in a bit of crushed ice and give it another blend – until extremely smooth. Blend until the there are no ice chunks left.
  4. Pour into the prepared glasses and garnish with a slice of strawberry and a lime wedge.
  5. Serve them immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use exclusively frozen strawberries in this recipe, if desired.
To make a large batch, combine in a blender:
  • 24 oz frozen strawberries
  • 4 to 6 oz lime juice
  • 12 oz tequila
  • 6 oz triple sec
  • 5 oz of agave syrup (more or less to taste)
  • and up to 6 cups of ice.
You can make the margarita a day or two in advance and keep the mixture in the freezer. The alcohol prevents the drink from freezing fully, retaining a slushy-like texture. You might want to give it a quick (re)blend just before serving.
