Description
A refreshing summer drink that combines the flavors of tequila, lime, and frozen fruits to create a vibrant red, white, and blue slushy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ice
- 1 cup tequila
- 1/2 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 cup triple sec
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- Lime wedges and salt for rimming glasses (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by rimming your glasses with lime juice and dipping them in salt if desired. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine the ice, tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Blend until smooth and slushy.
- Divide the slushy mixture into two bowls. In one bowl, mix in the frozen strawberries until well combined. In the other bowl, mix in the frozen blueberries.
- In each prepared glass, layer the strawberry slush on the bottom, followed by the plain slush, and then top with the blueberry slush to create a red, white, and blue effect.
- Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the tequila and triple sec with sparkling water and increase the simple syrup for sweetness.
- Experiment with different fruits like mango or raspberries for a unique flavor twist.
