Additional Ingredients
One of the great things about this particular margarita is that you can change up the recipe based on your personal tastes. Some people enjoy using 1/4 Cointreau (an orange liqueur) instead of triple sec, and you can also mix in 1/3 cups of sweeteners such as agave, simple syrup, or granulated sugar to the blender. Depending on how sweet the drink is, you can add more to your liking after you pour the drink.
Remember that you can also chill your margarita glass if you desire a frozen drink that is on the colder side. Don’t forget to garnish with a lime wheel if you so choose!
So now you know that the perfect frozen summer drink is just a few ingredients away! Grab those strawberries and tequila and blend yourself a sweet drink to help you beat the heat this summer season.
