Time 6h25m

Yield 6 frozen margaritas

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups orange liqueur (such as Cointreau)
1 1/4 cups fresh lime juice
2/3 cup superfine sugar
Lime wedges, for the glasses
Coarse salt or flavored salt, for the glasses (recipes follow)
12 ounces tequila
3 oranges
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt
4 limes
Kosher salt
Large pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers
3 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Mix 1 1/2 cups water, the orange liqueur, lime juice and superfine sugar in a pitcher. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze for at least 6 hours; you should get about 32 ice cubes.
  • Moisten the rim of each glass with a lime wedge or water, then dip in coarse salt.
  • For each drink, puree 6 to 7 margarita ice cubes in a blender with 2 ounces tequila. With the motor running, add 6 to 7 regular ice cubes, one at a time, until slushy. Pour into the prepared glasses.
  • Grate the orange zest onto a microwave-safe paper towel-lined plate. Microwave until the zest is dry, tossing every 30 seconds, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Transfer the dried zest to a spice grinder along with the smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Process until combined, then mix with 1 1/2 tablespoons more kosher salt.
  • Grate the lime zest onto a microwave-safe paper towel-lined plate. Microwave until the zest is dry, tossing every 30 seconds, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Transfer the dried zest to a spice grinder along with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Process until combined, then mix with the cayenne, sugar and 1 more tablespoon salt.
  • Using a spice grinder, process the hibiscus flowers until powdery, then mix with the kosher salt.

EASY FROZEN MARGARITAS



Easy Frozen Margaritas image

Authentic margaritas call for lots of fresh lime juice - both expensive and time-consuming. I've found I can shortcut the process by using frozen limeade. And for a festive non-alcoholic drink, combine a 12-ounce can of limeade (thawed) with a 48-ounce bottle of sparkling water.

Steps:

  • Working in 2 batches, place 1 quart ice cubes in a blender. Add 1/2 can limeade, 6 ounces tequila and 2 tablespoons Cointreau. Blend at highest speed until drink is almost smooth. Pour into a pitcher and repeat with remaining ingredients. Store in the freezer.
  • To salt the margarita glasses, pour a single layer of salt on a salad plate. Moisten each glass rim with lime; dip each rim in the salt. Pour margaritas into each glass; garnish with lime. Serve immediately.

GALLON MARGARITA



Gallon Margarita image

If many people are around who loves Margaritas, that you have to serve, this is a real time saver. (or do like I did once, freeze in small Styrofoam cups & once frozen toss into freezer bags. Then bring out later when you want just one small portion).

Provided by Penny Binker

Categories     Punches

Number Of Ingredients 9

THE MIX
6 c tequila, (buy two fifths for this)
2 1/2 c triple sec (buy one fifth)
2 1/2 c fresh lime juice
2 1/2 c fresh lemon juice
2 c simple syrup
FINISHING TOUCHES
crushed ice
kosher salt to rim glasses, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a gallon container, mix all the ingredients except ice & salt. (tequila, triple sec, lime juice, lemon juice, & simple syrup). Refrigerate.
  • 2. When ready to serve: Optional as to salt the rim of the glass. You can rub a lime around the rim & then dip into the salt. When ready to serve, fill a 16 oz. glass with the ice & fill with the Margarita mix.

Tips:

  • Freeze the margarita mix: Freezing the margarita mix before blending helps to create a slushy, frozen texture.
  • Use a blender powerful enough to crush ice: A high-powered blender is essential for making frozen margaritas. A regular blender may not be able to crush the ice properly, resulting in a watery margarita.
  • Add the ice cubes last: Adding the ice cubes last helps to prevent the blender from getting too full and overflowing.
  • Blend until smooth: Blend the margarita mixture until it is smooth and slushy. This may take a few minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Frozen margaritas are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to store them, place them in the freezer for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Frozen margaritas are a delicious and refreshing way to cool down on a hot day. They are also perfect for parties and gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and a blender, you can easily make a frozen margarita at home. So next time you're looking for a refreshing drink, give this frozen margarita recipe a try.
