Notes
Upgrade - For an upgraded “top shelf marg", substitute Reposado Tequila.
Fruity Variations – swap 1-2 cups of the ice with frozen strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, or mango!
Protein Pointer – Protein lovers, even in blended cocktails, you can add protein if you want! Add 4 egg whites to the blender before pureeing. You can also add 2 scoops of flavorless protein powder to the blender.
Pro Tip - Start out with the recommended amount of ice, then add more if necessary to make a thicker frozen margarita to your liking. If it becomes too thick, add another splash of lime juice or water and blend again.
