What each ingredient does
- Frozen limeade concentrate
- Provides the lime flavor and sweetness that define the drink.
- Tequila
- Supplies the spirit base and contributes the drink's main aroma and bite.
- Triple sec
- Adds orange sweetness and aroma while lowering the freezing point for a smoother slush.
- Ice
- Chills and dilutes the mixture, giving the frozen texture when blended.
The step that matters
Store in freezer. Chilling the blended mixture long enough lets it firm to a slushy texture; serving too soon leaves it thin and watery, since alcohol keeps it from freezing solid.
