Why this recipe works
Purée contributes fruit solids, helping the drink hold a slushy texture. A fixed fruit-to-ice ratio prevents a watery drink and makes sweetness easier to control.
Practical tips and variations
- Chill the purée before blending so less ice melts.
- For an alcohol-free version, replace tequila and liqueur with 180ml cold hibiscus tea and a little orange cordial.
- Blend only until smooth; prolonged blending warms the drink.
Serving and storage
Frozen Margaritas are best served immediately. The still fruit base can be refrigerated for up to four hours before blending.
