Margarita:
FROZEN STRAWBERRY MARGARITA INGREDIENTS:
- ● 2 cups (12 ounces) frozen strawberries
- ● 1/2 cup tequila
- ● 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- ● 1/4 cup agave nectar (or honey)
- ● extra ice, if needed
FROZEN BLUEBERRY MARGARITA INGREDIENTS:
- ● 1 cup (12 ounces) frozen blueberries
- ● 1/2 cup tequila
- ● 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- ● 1/4 cup agave nectar (or honey)
- ● extra ice, if needed
FROZEN COCONUT MARGARITA INGREDIENTS:
- ● 1/2 cup coconut milk (I recommend full-fat)
- ● 1/2 cup silver tequila
- ● 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- ● 1/4 cup agave nectar (or honey)
- ● extra ice, if needed
- ● Optional: a fresh lime wedge and margarita salt or sugar, to rim the glasses DIRECTIONS:
- For each of the margarita recipes, add the five ingredients to a blender and pulse until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thin, add extra ice until it is the consistency of a thick slushy. Pour into a container, and store in the freezer while you rinse the blender to make the next batch.
- If you would like to rim your glasses with salt or sugar, make a small slit in a fresh lime wedge and run it around the tops of your glasses to wet the edges. Then invert the glasses, and dip them in a bowl of salt or sugar to coat the rims.
- Use a spoon to scoop your desired first flavor of margaritas into the bottom of your serving glasses until they are 1/3 full. Add your second flavor, and then your final flavor. Serve immediately.

Directions
Blue Layer: Place all blue layer ingredients EXCEPT VODKA into a blender pitcher. Pulse to chop ice, then puree until mixture is smooth. Add vodka and blend until mixed in. Fill glasses 1/3 full of blue mixture and place glasses in freezer for 10 minutes, or until set and you’re able to add the next layer without the colors mixing.
White Layer: Place all white layer ingredients EXCEPT VODKA into a clean blender pitcher. Pulse to chop ice, then puree until mixture is smooth. Add vodka and blend until mixed in. Remove glasses from freezer and fill to 2/3 high with the white mixture, so now the blue is 1/3 and the white is another 1/3 of the glass. TIP: Pour white layer slowly over the back of a spoon onto the blue layer to keep the colors from mixing. Return glasses to freezer for 10 minutes, or until set and you’re able to add the next layer without the colors mixing.
Red Layer: Place all white layer ingredients EXCEPT VODKA into a clean blender pitcher. Pulse to chop ice, then puree until mixture is smooth. Add vodka and blend until mixed in. Remove glasses from freezer and fill to the brim with the red mixture. TIP:
