A festive, layered frozen margarita slush featuring vibrant red strawberries, deep blue blueberries, and a tangy white margarita-tequila mix. Perfect for summer celebrations and easy to make with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) frozen blueberries
  • 2 cups (480 ml) premade margarita mix, divided
  • 1 cup (240 ml) tequila blanco
  • 2 cups (480 ml) ice cubes
  • Optional garnishes: lime wedges, fresh mint leaves, coarse salt for rimming glasses

Instructions

  1. Blend the Strawberry Layer: Place 1 ½ cups of frozen strawberries and ½ cup of margarita mix into the blender. Add 1 cup of ice cubes. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds until thick and slushy. Pour into a large clear pitcher or serving glasses, filling about one-third.
  2. Clean the Blender: Rinse the blender jug with cold water to avoid color mixing.
  3. Blend the Blueberry Layer: Add 1 ½ cups frozen blueberries, ½ cup margarita mix, and 1 cup ice cubes to the blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and slushy. Pour gently over the strawberry layer, filling the next third.
  4. Prepare the Margarita Base: Combine the remaining 1 cup margarita mix with 1 cup tequila blanco in a small bowl or measuring cup. Stir well.
  5. Finish the Drink: Slowly pour the margarita-tequila mixture over the blueberry layer to create the white layer. Add a few ice cubes if desired.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Rim glasses with coarse salt and garnish with lime wedges or mint leaves. Serve immediately with colorful straws or spoons to stir lightly if preferred.

Notes

For cleaner layers, pour blueberry and white layers slowly over the back of a spoon. Chill glasses beforehand to keep slush from melting quickly. Blend fruit layers separately if preparing in advance and store in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 2 days. Use quality margarita mix and tequila for best flavor. Non-alcoholic substitutions include sparkling water or lemon-lime soda and non-alcoholic margarita mix.
