Best Frozen Margarita Recipe
Best Frozen Margarita Recipe
The best margarita I’ve ever had was made with the recipe below! Nearly all margarita recipes use a pre-made syrup in a bottle, and most of the time they taste too sweet or fake or leave a not-so-great aftertaste in your mouth. This is the best frozen margarita recipe, it’s so simple, easy, and oh so good!
Be Healthy!
Get your daily dose of fresh fruit in a pure form with all the nutrients released by a high speed blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec. Hey, I’m being healthy while I’m drinking! I’ll have another! There is no syrup used, so you may have all these ingredients already in the house.
This margarita could be considered a Top Shelf Margarita as I highly recommend some pricey liquor. Herradura Silver is so smooth with very little aftertaste, it let’s the fruit flavors come thru. Cointreau is also quite pricey, but I find it’s flavor so much better than the commonly used Triple Sec.
Give it a try! And if you enjoyed it, leave a comment below, or share it using one of the social links on the left.

Bonus
For a twist, I’ve also made this recipe replacing the Orange with 4 Mandarin Oranges (also known as Halo’s and Cuties). I actually like the margarita better with the Mandarins.
