Ninja Slushi Margarita Recipe
If you love refreshing, icy cocktails, this Ninja Slushi Margarita Recipe is perfect for summer. It is sweet, tangy and frozen to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 cup tequila silver or blanco
- 1/2 cup triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice about 4–5 limes
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup or agave syrup
- 2 cups ice cubes
- Lime slices for garnish
- Salt for rimming glasses optional
- Mint leaves for garnish optional
Instructions
Prepare the Glasses
- If desired, rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip in salt for a classic margarita rim. Set aside.
Juice the Limes
- Use a citrus juicer to squeeze fresh lime juice. Remove seeds. Fresh lime juice gives the slushi a bright, tangy flavor.
Add Ingredients to Blender
- Place ice cubes, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and simple syrup into the blender. Make sure the ice covers all liquids for even blending.
Blend the Slushi
- Blend on high speed until the ice is crushed into a smooth, slushy consistency. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides for even texture.
Taste and Adjust
- Taste the slushi. Add more simple syrup if it is too tart. Add extra lime juice for more tang. Blend briefly again if adjustments are made.
Pour into Glasses
- Pour the Ninja Slushi Margarita into prepared glasses. Fill almost to the top, leaving space for garnish.
Garnish and Serve
- Add lime slices and mint leaves for decoration. Insert a straw or cocktail stirrer. Serve immediately while icy and cold.
Notes
- Freeze lime juice into ice cubes for extra strong flavor.
- Use flavored liqueurs like mango or strawberry for fruity variations.
- Blend some fresh berries into the slushi for color and sweetness.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila and triple sec with orange juice and sparkling water.
- Rim glasses with sugar instead of salt for a sweeter twist.
