How to Make Easy Margarita Granita
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and pour the simple syrup into a large bowl. Let it cool completely.
- Add 1 cup fresh lime juice, 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup triple sec, 1 cup tequila, and the zest of 1 lime to the cooled simple syrup.
- Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Cover the bowl and freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
- Add the frozen mixture to a high-powered blender or food processor. Process until the mixture reaches a slushy consistency, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Moisten the rims of margarita glasses with lime juice. Dip the rims in coarse sugar to create a beautiful, sweet edge.
- Spoon the slushy Margarita Granita into the prepared glasses and enjoy immediately!
