The Margarita is one of the most famous drink recipes across the world, and has a considerable history behind it. It is a drink which never fails to create a fuzzy, tropical feeling when you are drinking it. The Frozen Margarita recipe is a variation of the Margarita which makes use of blended ice in order to further enhance the cool, refreshing taste of the Margarita. It is a simple twist on the classic margarita recipe, which simply takes the original recipe and blends it with ice in a shaker. The frozen effect adds to the unique taste of the cocktail, and is something everyone should try at least once. It is not really known when the drink was invented, but the earliest references to it are found in the year 1948 to Mariano Martinez, a young Texas restaurateur, who had an infamous Margarita machine. However, whatever the origin of the drink is, the popularity of the frozen margarita and other margarita variations has boomed magnificently worldwide.

How to make a Frozen Margarita?
Ideally, a great, powerful margarita blender is one thing that is needed in order to make a perfect cocktail. The quality of the blender is determined by its ability to finely shave ice, and the recipe is as simple as putting the ingredients in the blender and blending them together at the maximum output. You can also potentially make it without the blender, although I don’t see why you would. For classical aesthetic purposes, salt is usually lined on the rim on the glass of a margarita after putting in some lime juices, before the full mix is poured in the glass. It should be shaken for about 15 to 20 minutes in order to get the final product. Serve chilled with lime wedges as garnish.
Authentic, homemade margaritas require a lot of fresh lime juice, which is both expensive and time-consuming. You can substitute it with frozen limeade, but it won’t be quite as good of a drink. The technique for making a frozen drink is applicable to just about every other Margarita variation I’ll be going over on this site.
