There is nothing quite like a cold margarita on a hot summer day. This cherry version is a fun change from the usual lime drinks and the bright red color always looks beautiful in a glass.

It is so easy to whip these up when guests drop by unexpectedly. Just make sure your cherries are frozen solid before you start, because that is the secret to getting that perfect slushy texture.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen sweet cherries
  • 1/2 cup tequila
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons triple sec
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or honey, optional
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Lime wedges and salt for the rim

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glasses and dip them into a small plate of salt.

  2. 2

    Place the frozen cherries, tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and sweetener into your blender.

  3. 3

    Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy. Add a handful of ice if you want a thicker consistency.

  4. 4

    Pour the margarita into your prepared glasses and garnish with a fresh lime wedge before serving.

πŸ’‘ Tips

You can prep the salt rims in advance to save time. If you have leftovers, pour the mixture into popsicle molds for a fun frozen treat later. Keep extra lime wedges on hand to brighten up the flavor.
