MARGARITA ICE CREAM



Margarita Ice Cream image

This is a cinch to make, and easy-easy-easy to eat. It is, now that I come to think of it, in effect a no-churn version of the ice cream in Forever Summer. If you want to serve it in glasses dipped in sugar and salt, by all means do. But it is so good, that even as someone is not a committed ice cream eater and no kind of a drinker, I find I can spoon it straight into my mouth from the container I've chilled it in. In other words: no decorative touches or embellishments are remotely needed. This is truly the express way to dessert-deliriousness.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons tequila
3 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Cointreau or Triple Sec)
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Pour the lime juice, tequila and orange liqueur into a bowl and stir in the sugar to dissolve.
  • Add the cream and then softly whip until thick and smooth but not stiff.
  • Spoon into an airtight container to freeze overnight. This ice cream does not need ripening (softening before serving), as it will not freeze too hard and melts speedily and voluptuously.

ICED MARGARITAS

The good news is that the least expensive tequila makes the best margaritas, but you must use freshly squeezed lime juice.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes     Cocktail Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup coarse salt
1/2 cup (about 4 limes) freshly squeezed lime juice, plus 1 lime cut in half for the glasses
2 tablespoons (about 1 lemon) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup triple sec
1 cup white tequila

Steps:

  • Pour the salt onto a small plate. Rub the outside rim of each glass with the cut lime. Dip each glass into the reserved salt; set aside.
  • Place lime juice, lemon juice, triple sec, and 3 cups ice in a blender, and puree on low speed until completely blended. Add tequila and blend for 2 seconds. Pour margaritas into the reserved glasses, over ice, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your margarita. Fresh lime juice is essential, and you should also use fresh mint leaves if possible.
  • Don't skimp on the tequila. A good margarita should have a generous amount of tequila in it. Use a good quality tequila that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Use Cointreau or Grand Marnier. These orange-flavored liqueurs will add a nice sweetness and complexity to your margarita.
  • Don't over-shake your margarita. Shaking it too much will make it watery. Just shake it until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Serve your margarita with a lime wedge and a salt rim. This is the classic way to serve a margarita, and it adds a nice touch of flavor and presentation.
  • Experiment with different flavors. There are many different ways to make a margarita. You can try using different fruits, herbs, or spices to create your own unique flavor combinations.

Conclusion:

The Island Margarita is a refreshing and flavorful twist on the classic margarita. With its combination of fresh fruit, herbs, and spices, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or get-together. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail, give the Island Margarita a try!
