    FAQs

    Yes! You can turn this Easy 3 Ingredient Frozen Margarita into a Frozen Strawberry Margarita. Do this by adding frozen strawberries in syrup to the blender along with all other ingredients. To make a u0022healthier version,u0022 add plain frozen strawberries instead of strawberries in syrup.

    How do I store leftover margaritas?

    Leftovers? No comprende. IF you have leftovers, or want to make a batch of these ahead of time, put the margaritas in the freezer. Before you serve them again, put them back in the blender to remix the ingredients.

    How did the margarita come to be?

    It’s hard to say exactly who created the margarita. Stories of its creation are as numerous as the variations of the drink itself. It is safe to say the drink was originally created in the early 1940s. It may have evolved from The Daisy, a classic cocktail popular around that time. The Daisy was a mix of alcohol, citrus juice, and orange cordial served over shaved ice. Fun Fact: margarita is the Spanish word for daisy.

    When did the frozen margarita become popular?

    When blenders began to appear in bars in the 1950s, the frozen margarita gained popularity. In 1971, Dallas restaurant owner Mariano Martinez created the first frozen margarita machine. He did this to keep up with demand for blender-made frozen margaritas. Today, his restaurants, Mariano's Hacienda and La Hacienda Ranch, can be found in a few Texas cities - Addison, Colleyville, Dallas, and Frisco. You can find his original machine in the Smithsonian museum.
