I truly love frozen margaritas! Anyone who knows me well, knows that I have been perfecting my recipe for years. I like my margaritas tart and not too sweet. These are very strong… I am warning you now.
I like to use a combination of key limes and regular limes. Key limes are really tart and have more flavor than regular limes. I also use Cointreau instead of Triple Sec, but really you can use what you have on hand.
Juice the limes, I love my lime juicer tool from HEB. You need 4 ounces ( 1/2 cup).
Pour your lime juice in the blender, along with 2 ounces of Cointreau and 1 cup tequila.
Add 2 tablespoons agave to the mixture.
Now add 4 cups of ice. Blend till smooth, and add more ice if necessary. You do not want the mixture to be super thick; it should still be somewhat pourable. You can also taste for sweetness and add more agave if you prefer a sweeter taste.
