What Do I Need To Make Freezer Margaritas?
- Frozen Limeade Concentrate
- Tequila
- Triple Sec
- Lime Juice
- Ice
- Kosher Salt or Margarita Salt
- Lime for garnish
How Do I Make Margaritas In The Freezer?
In a blender, combine limeade, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Cover and blend briefly until mixed. Fill the blender to top with ice. Cover and blend until slushy and no ice chunks remain.
Pour blended margaritas into 1 pint mason jars, screw on the lids and freeze. To serve, remove from the freezer & immediately dip it in salt (while the margarita is still solid and won’t come out of the inverted jar). Use a fork to break up and stir the semi-frozen margaritas into a slushy consistency. The alcohol keeps them from freezing to a hard solid state, so they’re always ready to remove from the freezer, serve, and drink.

Freezer Margarita Recipe Variations:
- Fruity Twist: Add a splash of fruit puree, such as strawberry, mango, or peach, to each margarita before freezing for a burst of fruity goodness.
- Different Spirits: Experiment with different types of alcohol. You can substitute tequila with vodka for a citrusy twist or use mezcal for a smoky flavor.

Storage Instructions For Margaritas In The Freezer:
If properly preserved, a frozen margarita can stay fresh for up to a year in the freezer. Remove from the freezer & immediately dip it in salt (while the margarita is still solid and won’t come out of the inverted jar). Use a fork to break up and stir the semi-frozen margaritas into a slushy consistency.
Presentation Suggestions:
To add a fun and festive touch to your Freezer Margaritas, consider serving them in salt-rimmed glasses with colorful straws or umbrellas. You can also get creative with garnishes by adding a slice of fresh fruit to the rim or floating some mint leaves on top.
Easy Margaritas:
I love having a batch of these Freezer Margaritas ready to go in my freezer. They not only save time when hosting gatherings but also ensure that you always have a refreshing cocktail on hand for impromptu celebrations or relaxing evenings.
The best part is that they don’t water down like traditional margaritas on the rocks.
So, grab your blender, limes, and favorite tequila, and get ready to indulge in these icy, tangy margaritas.
