Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) Tequila Blanco
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) canned full-fat coconut milk (unsweetened preferred)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) triple sec or orange liqueur
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water)
  • About 6 cups (1.4 liters) crushed ice
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Lime wheels or wedges for garnish

Instructions

  1. Juice the limes to measure 1 cup (240 ml) of fresh lime juice and set aside.
  2. Make simple syrup by dissolving ¾ cup (180 ml) sugar in ¾ cup (180 ml) water over gentle heat; cool before use.
  3. Add 2 cups (480 ml) tequila, 1 ½ cups (360 ml) coconut milk, ½ cup (120 ml) triple sec, 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lime juice, and ¾ cup (180 ml) simple syrup into a high-speed blender.
  4. Add about 6 cups (1.4 liters) crushed ice and blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and slushy. Add more ice if needed for desired thickness.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or add a pinch of sea salt to brighten flavors; blend briefly again.
  6. Pour into a large pitcher, garnish with lime wheels or wedges, and serve immediately with straws or small spoons.

Notes

Use crushed ice for best slushie texture. Pulse blend if blender struggles with ice. Keep ingredients chilled before blending. Refrigerate leftovers up to 2 days and stir before serving. Freeze for up to a week and re-blend to restore texture. Adjust sweetness to taste. For non-alcoholic version, omit tequila and triple sec and replace with coconut water and orange juice.
