Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice preferably freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur such as Cointreau or triple sec
  • 2 cups ice cubes preferably crushed or small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup adjust to taste for sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Measure and pour the fresh lime juice into the blender.
  2. Add the orange liqueur to the blender, contributing a citrusy depth to the mixture.
  3. Drop in the ice cubes, filling the blender and creating the icy base for the slushie.
  4. Pour the simple syrup over the ingredients, adding a touch of sweetness to balance the tartness.
  5. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slushie-like, with a thick, icy texture.
  6. Check the consistency—if it's too thick, add a splash of lime juice or water and blend again briefly.
  7. Pour the frozen margarita slushie into chilled glasses.
  8. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge or a sprinkle of salt on the rim if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, enjoying the icy, citrusy burst of flavor.

Notes

Adjust sweetness and tartness to your preference. For a non-alcoholic version, omit the orange liqueur and add a splash of fruit juice.
