Slushy margaritas are just one more thing you can throw together in your ice cream maker. You can even make and chill the sweetened tequila-lime base ahead of time so that your cocktails churn up more quickly.

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 12 ounces tequila, chilled
- 1 cup fresh lime juice, chilled (from about 8 limes), plus 2 limes, cut into wedges, for serving
- 4 teaspoons orange-flavored liqueur, chilled
- Kosher or rimming salt, for serving
Instructions
- Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Whisk together the tequila, lime juice, cooled sugar syrup, orange liqueur and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Freeze until slushy in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 45 minutes (see Cook’s Note). Transfer the frozen margaritas to a chilled pitcher. Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Fill a small plate with an even layer of salt. Moisten the rims of 4 chilled rocks or wine glasses and press into the salt to rim the edges. Divide the margaritas among the glasses. Serve with lime wedges.
