Notes

For a frozen margarita, blend all ingredients with 1 cup of ice until smooth. To adjust the flavor, add more simple syrup or triple sec for sweetness, lime juice for sourness, or coconut cream for creaminess. For a pitcher (8 servings), use 16 ounces tequila, 8 ounces coconut cream, 8 ounces lime juice, and 4 ounces each of triple sec and simple syrup. For variations, consider adding cranberry juice, peppermint extract, or spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. A non-alcoholic version can be made by substituting tequila with a non-alcoholic alternative or sparkling water.
