Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz tequila preferably blanco
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice about 2 limes
  • 1 oz simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 2 cups ice cubes

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Measure out the tequila, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup, then pour them into your blender.
    4 oz tequila, 2 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz simple syrup
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender, filling it up to about two-thirds full.
    2 cups ice cubes
  3. Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushy, about 30-45 seconds. Listen for the crunch of ice and watch as the mixture turns frosty and vibrant in color.
  4. Stop the blender and check the consistency; it should be thick yet scoopable with a granular texture.
  5. If desired, taste for sweetness or tartness and add more simple syrup or lime juice if needed, then briefly blend again to incorporate.
  6. Pour the frozen slushie into chilled glasses and garnish with a lime wedge or a colorful straw for presentation.

Notes

For a smoother texture, you can pre-freeze the glasses or run the blender longer for a finer slush. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup to your taste.
