Sip into Summer: The Easiest Blended Lemonade Margarita Ever

When life gives you lemons… make margaritas. Blended Lemonade Margaritas, to be exact. Whether you’re planning a backyard fiesta, relaxing after work, or just want something frosty to sip while dreaming of the beach, this recipe brings the perfect mix of sweet, tart, and boozy in one glass.

This simple yet satisfying drink is a breeze to make—and dangerously easy to love.

🍋 Blended Lemonade Margarita Recipe

Prep time: 5 minutes
Makes: 2 generous servings (or one big one—we’re not judging)

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed slightly)
1/2 cup silver tequila (we like El Jimador or Herradura)
1/4 cup orange liqueur
2 cups ice
Optional: splash of water or lemon-lime soda for smoother blending
Fresh lemon slices or lime wedges for garnish
Coarse salt or sugar for rimming the glasses

Instructions:

Rim the Glass (Optional but Fancy):
Run a lemon wedge around the rim of your glasses. Dip the rims into salt or sugar, depending on your vibe—salty for classic, sugar for sweet.

Blend It Up:
In a blender, combine the lemonade concentrate, tequila, triple sec, and ice. Blend on high until smooth and slushy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water or lemon-lime soda to thin it out just a bit.

Serve and Garnish:
Pour into your prepared glasses. Garnish with a lemon wheel or lime wedge for that pro-level touch.

Sip and Chill:
Kick back, take a sip, and let the good vibes roll. Perfect with tacos, grilled street corn, or a poolside playlist.

💡 Pro Tips:
Want it sweeter? Add a little agave syrup or simple syrup to taste.

Like it tart? Squeeze in a bit of fresh lemon juice.

Make it a mocktail: Swap the tequila and triple sec for sparkling lemonade or a non-alcoholic margarita mix.
