Ingredients
Method
- Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a margarita glass and press into a plate of coarse salt to coat. Place the glass in the freezer.
- Add the ice to a blender, then pour in the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and orange juice. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and thick.
- Pour into the chilled salted glass, garnish with the lime wedge on the rim, and serve immediately.
Notes
Fresh lime juice makes a noticeable difference here, so it's worth squeezing a lime rather than reaching for the bottle. If you're making a round for friends, blend in two separate batches rather than doubling in one go — a crowded blender tends to leave ice chunks at the bottom. The drink is best the moment it comes out of the blender, so have your glasses ready before you press start.
