Margarita
A classic Margarita made in the Thermomix: tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, sugar and ice cubes blended into a frosty, restaurant-quality cocktail in minutes. The TM7's powerful mixing and cooling functions crush the ice evenly, giving a silky-smooth texture without a separate blender or cocktail shaker.
About this recipe
Margarita Thermomix TM7 brings Mexico's most iconic cocktail straight into your kitchen with this foolproof recipe. Using just five ingredients — tequila, orange liqueur, fresh limes, sugar and ice cubes — the all-in-one kitchen machine transforms them into a frosty, slushy drink with a silky consistency that manual shaking simply cannot achieve. The high-speed blades crush the ice cubes evenly, while the fresh lime juice and sugar blend into a harmonious sweet-tart base. This is the perfect drink for a summer barbecue, a festive gathering with friends or a relaxed Friday evening on the patio. Many people search for easy cocktail recipes for the Thermomix TM7, and this Margarita delivers bar-quality results without a cocktail shaker, muddler or separate blender. Simply weigh, add and blend — the TM7 does the hard work. Serve it in salt-rimmed glasses with a lime wedge for that authentic cantina experience at home.
Preparation tips
- Roll the limes firmly on the worktop before juicing to release the maximum amount of juice. Using fresh limes rather than bottled juice gives the Margarita its vibrant, zesty character that shop-bought alternatives simply cannot match.
- Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass and dip it in coarse salt or sugar before pouring. Chilling the glasses in the freezer beforehand keeps the crushed-ice cocktail frosty for longer on warm evenings.
- For a less sharp Margarita, reduce the lime juice slightly and add a little extra sugar or a splash of orange liqueur. A pinch of chilli salt on the rim gives a trendy twist for adventurous guests.
Recipe variations
- Strawberry Margarita: add a handful of fresh or frozen strawberries to the mixing bowl with the tequila, lime juice and ice. The berries lend a fruity sweetness and a beautiful pink colour, perfect for summer parties.
- Non-alcoholic Margarita: replace the tequila and orange liqueur with alcohol-free tequila alternative and orange blossom water or alcohol-free orange syrup. Children and designated drivers can then enjoy the same frosty lime flavour.
