We are going to make a “grown-up” slushy! You know them, those big tubs in which sweet ice cream spins around in various colors. Super sweet and full of an awful lot of colorants…. Although we are making a cocktail, so we are also using alcohol, this is still a slightly better version, if I may say so myself. The color comes from fresh fruit and we do not use any crazy ingredients. This Margarita cantaloupe slushy cocktail can also be made in a virgin version! Actually, for every type of spirit these days there is an alcohol-free version.
What makes this frozen margarita so special?
A Margarita is a classic cocktail consisting of tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice. Usually the rim of the glass is sprinkled with salt and a slice of lime is hung on it. It is a fresh and summery cocktail that originally comes from Mexico. There is a lot to be found about the origin of the Margarita, there are several people who claim that they were the first to use the drink. In any case, this version is a Francine Original! I really enjoy mixing and making beautiful drinks. And besides that, the photos are always very nice. With this Margarita cantaloupe slushy I hope to inspire you to make a cocktail at home. Making it is done in no time, so it certainly doesn't have to be that.
