Ninja Slushi Margarita Recipe

Whether you’re having a cozy night in or a fun day with friends, this drink is just cold and tangy, perfect for hot days. It almost tastes like something you would savor at a fun bar or beachside resort, which is why I love making it since it is so easy to whip up. Coolness, refreshment, and fun are what it’s all about!

What is Ninja Slushi Margarita All About?

Basically, a frozen margarita taken to the next level, the Ninja Slushi Margarita. A blender (like a Ninja blender, if you were wondering where the name comes from) to make a great amount of crushed ice; for this slushie texture, you’ll use buckets of it. Otherwise, it makes the same fan-favorite flavor as the classic lime, tequila, and orange liqueur; the only thing this has that makes it really refreshing is that little something extra, that icy slush. Think of the adult version of your favorite childhood slush.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Margarita:

• 2 oz tequila (silver or blanco)
• 1 oz triple sec (or any orange liqueur)
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz simple syrup (or agave syrup)
• 2 cups crushed ice

For Garnish:

• Lime wedges
• Salt or sugar for rim (optional)

How to Make Ninja Slushi Margarita

1. Paint the rim of your glass with lime juice, then dip it in salt or sugar according to your preference.
2. Pour into the blender tequila, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice.
3. Blend until smooth and slushy.
4. Then pour it into your glass and garnish it with a lime wedge.
5. Savor the experience of your icy margarita magic!

Storage Tips

• This drink is best taken immediately, but if you have any left over, pour it into an airtight container and put it in the freezer. Just re-blend before you serve.

Serving Suggestions

• Chill a margarita or a coupe glass.
• Serve along with fun garnishes such as fresh fruit slices or even a splash of flavored syrup for a twist.

Pro Tips & Variations

• Try replacing the triple sec with flavored liqueurs such as peach or raspberry to place an extra fruity spin on the drink.
• Use frozen fruit (mango, strawberry, pineapple) instead of ice for a naturally sweet slushie.
• Simpler: swap the simple syrup for a splash of sparkling water.

FAQs

1. Can I make it non-alcoholic?

Yes! Just omit the tequila and triple sec; add some more lime juice and a dash of orange juice.

2. Is it strong?

Not really; just dial back the tequila to your own liking.

3. Can I make it spicy?

For sure! Toss in a few slices of jalapeño for some extra kick.

4. Is it gluten-free?

Yes, and so is triple sec. There is no trace of gluten in either tequila or triple sec.
