ust a handful of simple ingredients and five minutes and you will have a zingy and flavorful cocktail.

How to garnish a frozen margarita

When it comes to garnish, I like to keep it classic and simple with this cocktail. A salt rim and a slice of lime is really all you need. Don’t use table salt to rim the glass, it’s too strong, instead use a kosher or flaky sea salt.

If you aren’t a fan of the salty hit you get from the rim you can omit it or try a lightly sugared rim instead.

I also love to shake things up by doing a mix of salt + chili powder for a fun and spicy take on these classic frozen margaritas! A little goes a long way, and is so tasty!

Hi there! I wanted to try this margarita recipe for a 4th of July party this weekend, using the margaritaville maker machine. Think the recipe will still work if I adjust the number from 2 to 4?
