Blended Frozen Margarita Food

FROZEN AVOCADO MARGARITA

Steps:

• Add the tequila, lime juice, agave, triple sec and ice to a high-power blender. Blend until the ice is crushed and the mixture is homogeneous, about 20 seconds. Add the avocado and barely blend, about 10 seconds more. The mixture will be smooth and pourable. (Be sure not to overblend, because the mixture will become too thick.)
• Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim of the glass. Dip the rim into the coarse salt. Pour the margarita into the glass and garnish with another lime wedge.

Steps:

• Combine the lime juice, triple sec, tequila, lemon juice, and 2 cups ice in a blender; blend until smooth.

• Moisten the rim of each glass with a lime wedge or water, then dip in coarse salt.
• For each drink, puree 6 to 7 margarita ice cubes in a blender with 2 ounces tequila. With the motor running, add 6 to 7 regular ice cubes, one at a time, until slushy. Pour into the prepared glasses.
