Margarita Recipes

If you do not have the right blender, your frozen margaritas may suffer.  The two things you want to keep in mind are power and thickness of the container.

Buying Guide for Blenders. Blender speeds are not very important, but power is.  For the smoothest and least chunky frozen margarita, buy the highest powered blender you can afford.

Additionally, the thicker the container is the longer your margarita will stay cold.  This is a feature that the blenders marketed directly to margarita-makers have.  However, if you cannot afford one of these blenders, then just store your frozen margaritas in the freezer and they will stay perfectly frozen until poured into a margarita glass and enjoyed!

The four Tequila types are:

•  Blanco - comes straight out of the still and into the bottle. It’s also called silver or white.
• Joven -  just a blanco that has had fake coloring added to it to make it look gold (like Cuervo Gold).
•  Reposado and Añejo - aged tequila

Typically, for margaritas you should use a silver/blanco or reposado Tequila that is made 100% from the blue agave plant.

The smooth and aged Tequilas like an Añejo or the ultra aged and filtered do not make a great Margarita. You need that “bite” of the blanco/silver/white or reposado.
