Method
  1. 1

    Pre-chill a Margarita or coupe glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare a lime wheel for garnish and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add 45ml blanco tequila, 22.5ml triple sec, 22.5ml fresh lime juice, and 15ml rich sugar syrup to a blender.

  4. 4

    Blend briefly on a low setting to combine the liquids.

  5. 5

    While blending on low, add a small pinch of xanthan gum (approximately ¼ barspoon) to stabilise the emulsion and improve texture.

  6. 6

    Add 210ml crushed ice to the blender and blend on high until completely smooth and homogenous.

  7. 7

    Pour into the chilled glass and garnish with a lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.

From the Bartender

Xanthan gum is the professional's secret to a frozen Margarita that holds its silky texture without separating - a tiny amount stabilises the blend and prevents the dreaded icy, watery split as the drink warms.
