Margarita Ice II Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 1/2 cups | 355ml | Water |
| 1 1/2 cups | 297g / 10oz | Sugar |
| 3 cups | 711ml | Fresh lime juice - (abt 20 to 24 limes) |
| 1 cup | 237ml | High-quality tequila |
| = (recommended: Cuervo Gold or Encantado) | ||
| 1/2 cup | 118ml | Orange liqueur |
| = (recommended: Cointreau or Triple Sec) | ||
| 1/2 cup | 118ml | Bitter orange liqueur |
| = (recommended: Blue Curacao) | ||
| 1/2 cup | 99g / 3.5oz | Coarse sugar crystals - for garnish |
| 4 | Thin slices lime | |
| 2 teaspoons | 10ml | Fine lime zest |
In a heavy medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir, and simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the syrup with the lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur and bitter orange liqueur, and whisk well. Pour into a rectangular freezer-proof container and freeze just until ice crystals begin to uniformly form, about 2 hours.
Remove from the freezer and scrape the mixture with a fork to break up the crystals. Return to the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes. Remove again from the freezer and scrape, then return to the freezer. Continue the scraping/freezing process another 3 times, for a total of 4 hours. (If not serving after 4 hours, tightly cover with plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.)
To serve, place the sugar crystals on a plate. Dip the rims of 4 tall, stemmed glasses in water and then into the sugar to form a crust. Divide the Margarita Ice between the glasses. Garnish each rim with a lime slice, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of lime zest, and serve immediately.
This recipe yields about 1 quart for 4 servings.
