Grandpa’s Famous Frozen Margarita Recipe

My Grandpa Jim’s Frozen Margarita Recipe is famous in our family. A traditional frosty frozen margarita, it’s so refreshing and perfect for sipping!

Frozen Margarita Recipe

My Grandpa Jim makes the best frozen margaritas. They are a family tradition whenever my grandma and grandpa host a BBQ or dinner at their house. Before we were old enough to have a real margarita, Grandpa would make us a non alcoholic version with a splash of grenadine!

How to Make a Frozen Margarita

1. Start with a good quality blender. I used my Blendtec blender for these frozen margaritas. It makes the ice so pillowy and soft!
2. Combine triple sec, tequila, Rosa’s Sweetened Lime Juice and ice in a blender and blend well.
3. If you want to serve with a salted rim, use fresh limes to coat the rim of the glass, then dip rim of glass onto a small plate with coarse salt.
4. Blend in small batches to keep margaritas from melting.

Thank you for letting me share your recipe, Grandpa Jim! One of the reasons I love having a blog is that I can share recipes and traditions that are important to our family. Here is a picture of my Grandpa Jim Barton with one of his famous margaritas on Easter this year. ❤️
