Notes

🥡 STORAGE

  • Store any leftover margarita in an airtight container in the freezer.
  • For best results, pour into a freezer-safe jar or container with a lid.

♨️ REHEATING

  • No reheating needed!
  • Let the frozen margarita sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving, then stir or re-blend to restore texture.

❄️ FREEZING

  • Freeze blended margaritas in individual portions for easy serving later.
  • Store in the freezer for up to 1 month for optimal flavor and consistency.

💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

  • Use fully frozen watermelon chunks to get a thick, slushy texture.
  • Taste before serving and adjust the sweetness or lime juice to your liking.
  • Chill your glasses ahead of time for an extra-refreshing drink.
