15 Tips You Need When Cooking With Avocado - Tasting Table

The margarita is a trendy cocktail drink made in many different ways, starting from the same base: tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice. Our classic frozen margarita recipe recommends (to make two margaritas) ½ cup of tequila, ¼ cup of triple sec, and ½ cup of fresh lime juice, but several other recipes combine the three main ingredients differently. A frozen margarita is a cocktail variety served as an ice slush, for which the main ingredients are processed in a blender with ice cubes. Actually, the margarita is so popular that the dedicated frozen margarita machine was invented in 1971, (via Smithsonian Magazine).

The ingredient combination in a margarita can benefit from adding several other liqueurs, fruit juice, or fruits. For example, you can use flavored tequila, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier (both have an orange flavor). Margarita works well with various sodas, such as lime, pineapple, and mandarin. Use fruits like mango, peach, strawberry, banana, raspberry, and avocado. Avocado makes frozen margarita creamier, and another way to go is to add some cilantro for its herby kick. To make an avocado-cilantro frozen margarita, blend avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and salt, then add the puree to the margarita liquor mix. Blend the ingredients with ice cubes until they become smooth, then transfer the margarita into glasses.
