Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries
- 2 ounces tequila blanco
- 1 ounce triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime)
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup or agave nectar
- ½ cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Tajin seasoning
- 1 lime wedge (for wetting the glass rim)
- Coarse sea salt (optional, for mixing with Tajin)
- Optional garnishes: fresh strawberry halves, lime wheel or wedge, fresh mint sprig
Instructions
- Pour the Tajin seasoning onto a small plate. If desired, mix equal parts coarse sea salt and Tajin for a saltier rim.
- Rub the lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then gently dip the rim into the Tajin mixture. Set aside to dry for 1-2 minutes.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice until you have about 1 ounce.
- In a high-speed blender, combine frozen strawberries, tequila blanco, triple sec, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and ice cubes.
- Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth but thick and icy. Adjust texture by adding water or more lime juice if too thick, or more ice cubes if too thin.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed.
- Pour the slushie into the prepared glass and garnish with a fresh strawberry half, lime wheel, or mint sprig.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for best icy texture. Adjust sweetness last to balance tartness and sweetness. Rim the glass properly with lime and Tajin for best flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, replace tequila and triple sec with fresh orange juice and sparkling water.
