Scale
Liquids
- 1/2 cup silver tequila
- 1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (full-fat, well shaken)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or to taste)
Other Ingredients
- 2 cups ice cubes
- Lime wedges for garnish (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including the silver tequila, triple sec, coconut milk, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and ice cubes. Make sure the canned coconut milk is well shaken.
- Blend the Margarita: In a blender, combine the tequila, triple sec, coconut milk, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and has a slushy texture.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the margarita and add more simple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Blend briefly again to combine.

- Serve: Pour the frozen margaritas into the prepared glasses, garnish each with a lime wedge, and serve immediately while cold and slushy.
Notes
- For a stronger coconut flavor, add 1–2 tablespoons of cream of coconut before blending.
- You can prepare a large batch of this margarita and freeze it in a sealed container; before serving, re-blend to restore the perfect texture.
