The frozen raspberry margarita is an unbeatable refreshing treat. Previously, I shared a classic raspberry margarita recipe using homemade raspberry syrup instead of Chambord liqueur.
Now, it's time to kick things up a notch with a frozen version. Blend up some crushed ice, and you've got a perfect summer drink!
? Ingredients
- Tequila - For the best flavor, pick a quality tequila made from 100% agave. Silver (Blanco) tequila has a clean, crisp taste, while reposado offers a deeper flavor due to oak barrel aging. Mezcal adds a smoky touch to the mix.
- Cointreau - A premium orange liqueur that balances sweet and bitter orange flavors. Its clear, smooth texture enhances the citrusy notes without overpowering.
- Fresh Lime Juice—Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the brightest flavor. Roll the lime on the counter before juicing for maximum juice.
- Raspberry Syrup - Homemade raspberry syrup sweetens and balances the tart lime. You can make it using either a no-cook infusion method or a quicker stovetop option. Chambord or a delicious raspberry liqueur can be a substitute.
- Fresh Raspberries - Blend fresh raspberries for an extra burst of flavor.
- Crushed Ice - Blend two scoops of crushed ice for a perfect frozen margarita.
- Garnish - Top with a fresh raspberry on the rim and a straw for garnish. You can also use mint leaves.
