Key Lime Margarita 💚 for ep.4 Thirsty Thursdays. I’m well aware this is not an authentic margarita, it is more so a boozy Limonada Suiça or Brazilian Lemonade but it is itching my margarita itch.

Why You’ll Love Key Lime Margarita
This margarita is SO good! Like it says in the name, it is creamy and frozen. It’s lemony, boozy, and extremely delicious. This drink is perfect for summer and pool days. You will be obsessed.. trust me! This recipe is also perfect for hosting because on top of being delicious, it yields 4 servings and you can get it ready in 5 minutes!
How To Prepare Key Lime Margarita
🍋 Add the limes and water to a blender and then blend for 20-40 seconds. You want them broken down but not fully blended (over blending makes them bitter).
💧 Strain well and then return to the blender with the condensed milk, tequila and lots of ice.
🍸 Garnish with a lime wheel and that is it!
Substitutions and Variations
- You can use lemons instead of limes.
- You can use any alcohol of your choice instead of tequila.
- This is delicious as a mocktail as well, just leave out the alcohol!
Chef Nadia’s Tip
Wash the limes well, quarter or halve them before blending. Don’t over blend because It’ll get bitter. Also, taste after blending with the ice, if you need it sweeter, add more condensed milk at this point.
