Ingredients
These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:
-
???? 2 cups ice (crushed for best blending)
-
???? 2 oz silver tequila
-
???? 1 oz blue curaçao
-
???? 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
-

-
???? Lime wedges or orange slices (for garnish)
-

Instructions
Step 1: Prep your glasses
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip into salt or sugar. Set aside in the freezer to chill.
Step 2: Blend the base
In a high-powered blender, add:
-
2 cups crushed ice
-
2 oz silver tequila
-
1 oz blue curaçao
-
1 oz lime juice
-
1 oz simple syrup
-
Optional: ½ oz orange juice
Step 3: Blend until smooth
Blend for 20–30 seconds until smooth and slushy. Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup or citrus as needed.
Step 4: Pour and garnish
Pour into prepared glasses. Garnish with a lime wheel, orange slice, or fun umbrella.
Step 5: Serve immediately
Enjoy immediately before it melts—this drink is best super cold and thick!
Notes
This drink is very forgiving, but a few tips help ensure the perfect frozen consistency and flavor:
-
???? Use crushed ice for faster blending and a smoother texture.
-
???? Choose quality tequila—100% agave silver tequila gives the cleanest taste.
-
???? Fresh lime juice only—avoid bottled for the best zesty flavor.
-
❄️ Serve immediately—frozen drinks melt fast, especially in the sun.
