Description
A refreshing slushy margarita with a festive twist, perfect for winter gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces tequila or non-alcoholic alternative
- 1 ounce triple sec or orange soda
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup
- 1 cup crushed ice
- Salt or sugar for rim
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Start by rimming your margarita glass. Run a lime wedge along the rim, then dip it into a plate of salt or colored sugar to coat the edge.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine 2 ounces of tequila (or your non-alcoholic alternative), 1 ounce of triple sec (or orange soda), 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and 1 ounce of simple syrup. Add about 1 cup of crushed ice.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy. You want it to have a slushy consistency, reminiscent of freshly fallen snow.
- Taste and Adjust: Give it a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more simple syrup. If it’s too strong, a splash of lime juice can balance it out.
- Pour and Serve: Carefully pour the blended Snowflake Margarita into your prepared glass. Garnish with a slice of lime or a sprinkle of shredded coconut for that extra wintery look.
Notes
- This recipe can be easily adapted for a non-alcoholic version by substituting tequila with a non-alcoholic alternative.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of orange juice or using flavored sparkling water in place of soda.
