How to Make Authentic Mexican Margaritas

  2. Add crushed ice to almost fill the blender.
  3. Blend until smooth and slushy. If you prefer them on the rocks, skip the blender and shake all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker until well-chilled.
  4. Moisten the rims of four martini or margarita glasses with lime juice or water and dip into a shallow dish of salt.
  5. Pour the margarita mixture into the prepared glasses.
  6. Garnish with lime wedges (optional) and enjoy! ¡Salud!
