Tommy’s Margarita is a mix of tequila, lime, and agave syrup. Yes! This would be more of a frozen Tommy’s Margarita. Can I make a frozen Margarita without triple sec? You can then easily measure out 1 cup measures for your frozen Margaritas. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just broken into smaller, easy to crush pieces. Place a second dish towel on top of the bag and use a mallet to break up the ice.

If you’re wondering how to easily make crushed ice, simply fill a gallon zip top freezer bag about 3/4 with ice cubes, seal the bag, and place a dish towel underneath it. The smaller size of the ice pieces will help to prevent a chunky texture if your blender isn’t great at crushing ice. Crushed ice is also highly recommended if you’re working with an old or low powered blender. The less time the drink has to get melty before it hits the glass, the better. I also like to use crushed ice when making a frozen Margarita so that the cocktail blends and cools rapidly, giving the drink great, smooth texture in seconds. I like to add an extra 1/4 ounce of agave syrup (or 1/2 oz of simple syrup) to my frozen Margaritas to make sure that they’re flavorful and sweet enough. If you’ve ever made ice cream, you know that temperature affects how sweet something tastes, and that more sweetness is needed the colder the food/drink is in order for it to taste the same. Frozen Margaritas taste best with slightly more sweetener If our frozen Margarita will be more watered down and colder than a regular Margarita, we need to make sure to increase the level of sweetness. What this means is two things: a frozen Margarita is a bit more diluted than a classic, and it’s also a bit colder.ĭilution and temperature are key to making a great cocktail, so we want to consider the impact that all that blended ice will have on the end product, and adjust accordingly. That’s considerably more ice/water than we’d find in a standard marg. A frozen Margarita contains tequila (or mezcal), freshly squeezed lime juice, triple sec liqueur, an optional sweetener (more about that in a minute), and about a cup of ice.

What are the ingredients in a frozen Margarita?Ī frozen Margarita is only slightly different than a classic Margarita. It’s also incredibly easy to blend up any time you’re in the mood for a sweet and sour tequila slushie!

Yuk.The classic Frozen Margarita is one of the best ways to cool off on a hot summer day. After the first use, I'm sure it would start to rust. Of course you could run soap and water, and even some bleach through it when you were done, but the components inside the unit were never meant to handle FOOD, only waste. Having said all that, I would also be afraid of cleanliness. If it were comming off tangent to the annulus (like a centrifugal pump) I would be more likely to think it would work.

It is too bad that the discharge pipe is normal (perpendicular) to the center line of the unit.

I suppose if the chamber was completely full of liquid all the time (as it would be in this case) you might be able to get the fluid in the annulus to rotate. (The seller didn't show any photos of it working, did he?) From what I know of the inner workings of a gargage disposal, the waste is flung out into an annulus, and carried through the discharge by gravity. I would have loved to be able to see the thing in action. And please don't take the rest of this as any kind of argument (I hate it when people debate an instructable).
