Frozen Key Lime Pie Margaritas

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

This frozen margarita was inspired by the flavors of a cool and creamy Key lime pie. Whip up a batch of these easy frozen margaritas for Cinco de Mayo or anytime you want a sweet and refreshingly tart treat! Use Key limes--which have a wonderful floral aroma and flavor--if you can find them, but common limes work as well. Freshly squeezed juice will have the best flavor, but you can also find bottled Key lime juice--just be sure to buy unsweetened juice if you go for packaged juice. If you prefer a mocktail, simply replace the tequila with water.

Ingredients:
  • 2 graham cracker squares (optional, for rims)
  • lime wedges and slices (optional, for rims and garnish)
  • 3 ounces tequila blanco
  • ¼ cup key lime juice
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups ice cubes
Directions:
  1. To rim glasses (optional): Place graham crackers in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. Spread the crumbs in a shallow bowl. Run a lime wedge along the rims of 2 margarita glasses; dip the rims in the crumbs.
  2. To prepare margaritas: Combine tequila, Key lime juice, condensed milk and ice in a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Divide the margaritas between the 2 prepared glasses (or other margarita glasses). Garnish with lime slices, if desired.
