Frozen Margarita Mix Recipe

A zesty, citrus flavoured homemade margarita mix. Add some tequila and ice to make the best summer cocktails.

Is there anything better than a pitcher of icy cold frozen margaritas? Trust me, they're even better if you make frozen margaritas using a homemade margarita mix.

We had these as our cocktail of choice last Christmas and it was such a hit! Those reading this in the Northern Hemisphere, remember that it's summertime for the Christmas I'm talking about.

Making margaritas using a mix as the base (and then adding in the ice and the tequila) makes it super easy and when the mix is homemade it's so yum.

Looking for another cocktail idea? Try rhubarb gin!

Lemon and lime, water, sugar and a pinch of salt are the only ingredients in the mix, however, I do my best to get every inch of flavour from the fruit, into the mix!

First, the water is brought to a simmer along with the sugar and salt (so they dissolve.) Then the lemon and lime juice is added along with the peels. Then it's left to cool right down and steep, so all those gorgeous and tangy citrus flavours are drawn out.

Once strained and bottled this can be stored in the fridge for up to a month or frozen for up to four months.

To serve, add 1 part tequila, 3 parts mixer, and 3 parts ice and blend in a blender until smooth.

To make things a little more fun you can add other fruit when blitzing it up, such as passionfruit or strawberries.

When serving, run a wedge of lime or lemon along the rim of the glass, then dip it into salt. The salt with the sweetness of the margarita is amazing.
