Ninja Slushi Frozen Margarita
Description
A classic frozen lime margarita made in the Ninja Slushi with fresh lime, blanco tequila, and triple sec. No ice, no melting, and ratios built to actually freeze on Spiked Slush.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh lime juice, about 12–16 limes
- 1½ cups blanco tequila
- ½ cup triple sec or Cointreau
- ¾ cup simple syrup or agave nectar
- 3¼ cups cold water, or enough to reach the fill line
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for rimming
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Combine the lime juice, tequila, triple sec, syrup, water, and salt in a large pitcher. Stir until the syrup is fully dissolved.
- Taste. It should read slightly sweeter and slightly weaker than you want the finished drink — cold suppresses both.
- Pour into the Ninja Slushi vessel, stopping between the MIN and MAX fill lines.
- Secure the lid, confirm the dispense handle is closed, and select Spiked Slush.
- Let it run undisturbed, 20 to 60 minutes depending on starting temperature.
- Rim glasses with lime and kosher salt while it spins. Dispense and serve immediately.
Equipment
- Ninja Slushi Professional Frozen Drink Maker
- Large pitcher
Notes
Do not increase the tequila — above a certain alcohol concentration the mixture will not freeze at all. For a stronger drink, float a small pour on top after dispensing. Scale to the fill line rather than to servings if your vessel is a different size. The unfrozen base keeps refrigerated for up to three days.
