Refreshing summer drinks Cocktail hour

Blended Margarita

Published: 03.24.2021 » Last updated: 07.26.2022

Arguably the most popular tequila-based cocktail drink, the margarita is a mixture of tequila, Triple Sec and citrus juice. It can be served on the rocks, blended or straight.

Blended Margarita

This is the blended version which means the cocktail mix was thrown into the blender with ice and processed to make a thick iced drink.

There are many formulas for mixing a Margarita but the most common ratio is 50% tequila, 25% Triple Sec and 25% juice. Feel free to experiment to come up with the ratio that tastes best to you.

How much syrup? That depends on how sweet you want your drink. I always start with equal amounts of lime juice and sugar.

Full recipe below

Simple syrup is equal amounts of water and sugar boiled together just until the sugar is fully dissolved. Cool before using in a cocktail drink.
If you want to experiment with variations of the Margarita, try substituting unsweetened pineapple or mango juice.
