Margarita Mix Slush
A refreshing frozen margarita slush combining tequila, limeade, lemonade, and 7-Up, perfect for parties and hot days, offering a tangy, sweet, and icy beverage experience.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the tequila, margarita mix, limeade cans, and frozen lemonade in a large container.
- Freeze the mixture until solid.
- To serve, scoop some of the frozen mixture into a blender, add a splash of 7-Up, and blend to desired consistency.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother slush, consider blending the tequila and margarita mix with ice before freezing. If you prefer a less sweet version, substitute half of the 7-Up with sparkling water. You can also experiment with flavored margarita mixes for a twist. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the tequila and increase the limeade and 7-Up for a refreshing mocktail.

Serving Suggestions
Serve your Margarita Mix Slush in chilled glasses for a refreshing treat. Garnish with fresh lime slices or a salted rim to enhance presentation. This slush pairs beautifully with Bob'S Salsa and tortilla chips for a festive gathering. For a more robust meal, consider serving it alongside tacos or a hearty Caldillo to balance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover slush in an airtight container in the freezer. To rehydrate the mixture, let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving. If it becomes too solid, you can blend it again with a splash of 7-Up to restore the desired consistency. Ensure it's consumed within a week for the best flavor.
