Notes
For an elevated experience, ensure all liquid ingredients (tequila, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup) are well-chilled before blending; this helps maintain a colder temperature and reduces ice melt, resulting in a less diluted and more vibrant margarita. While crushed ice is specified, adjust quantity based on desired consistency – more ice for a thicker, slushier drink, less for a thinner, cocktail-like texture. Always use fresh lime juice for optimal flavor. Consider rimming glasses with sugar or a strawberry-lime sugar blend for enhanced presentation and taste.
