This recipe does not use a frozen margarita mix. I find that they are often too sweet. And, I didn't want an overly sweet frozen margarita recipe.
This recipe uses a simple syrup which adds just the right amount of sweetness but doesn't leave it overpoweringly sweet. It's a simple, refreshing drink on a hot day.

Tools for making frozen margaritas
Blender - You can use any blender with this frozen margarita recipe, but I absolutely love this one! I use it for ice cream, smoothies, soups, my tomato sauce, and naturally this margarita.Do you need triple sec for margaritas?
Yes, a classic margarita will contain triple sec. This frozen margarita contains tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup. And, the ice of course. You will also need coarse salt and lime juice for rimming your glasses.
How to rim a margarita glass
One of the most important steps in this frozen margarita recipe is rimming your margarita glass with coarse salt and lime juice. It's very easy to do with a little bit of preparation.
You will need a shallow bowl of water, lemon juice, or lime juice (like I've used here). Then you need to dip the rim of your margarita glass into the liquid evenly.
Make sure that you cover the rim completely.
Finally, carefully dip the rim into the coarse salt until it's evenly coated. For a fun variation, you can add food coloring to the salt to change the color.
Try matching the color of the salt to your party theme. Or, try orange for a peach margarita and red for a strawberry frozen margarita recipe. There are lots of different variations you can try.
What pairs well with margaritas?
Margaritas go wonderfully with both chicken and shrimp especially if they have lime juice as part of the recipe. You could serve it with a wrap, salad, or grilled meat. Why not try a few of these recipes:
Or, if you're hoping for a dessert recipe, you have got to try these Boozy Margarita Cupcakes. They are loaded with lime and tequila with incredible ribbons of lime zest. They are a perfect ending to any summer meal.
