Cocktail Base

Method

Prepare Glass

1

Rim the glass

If desired, moisten the rim of a chilled margarita or rocks glass with a lime wedge. Dip the rim into coarse salt or Tajín to coat evenly. Set the glass aside in the freezer or refrigerator to keep cold while you prepare the cocktail.

Make Frozen Margarita

2

Add 2 oz Casa Lujo Blanco, 1 oz Cointreau, 1 oz clarified lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup to a blender.

3

Add the ice: pour in about 2 cups crushed ice or ice cubes. If you prefer a slushier texture, use crushed ice or more ice; for a softer blend, use slightly less.

4

Optional: for a spicy note, add 0.5 tsp Mama Picante (adjust to taste). Optional: for a sangria variation, reserve 1 oz sangria to float or stir in later.

5

Blend on high in short pulses, checking texture after 10–15 seconds, until smooth and slushy. Avoid over-blending to prevent the drink from warming.

6

Taste and adjust: if too tart, add up to 0.25 oz more simple syrup; if too strong, add a splash of chilled water or more ice and re-blend briefly.

Finish & Serve

7

Pour the frozen margarita into the pre-rimmed chilled glass, leaving room for a sangria float if using.

8

Optional sangria addition: gently float 1 oz sangria on top by pouring slowly over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect, or drizzle and lightly swirl for an integrated flavor.

9

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw or short stirring spoon.
