Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 284kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup ice
- ¾ cup loquats
- ¼ cup mango or peach juice (orange juice can be substituted)
- 1½-2 ounce tequila
- 1 ounce triple sec
- ½ ounce grenadine (optional)
- 1 small lime
- kosher salt/sugar for the rim (optional)
Instructions
- Add ice, frozen loquats, juice, tequila, triple sec, and grenadine to the cup of a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Slice lime in half and squeeze one half into the margarita mix. Stir to combine. Use the same half to wet the edges of the glass.
- Dip the edge of the glass into a plateful of kosher salt or Margarita Salt until coated. Watching your salt? Sugar may be used instead.
- Pour the margarita mix into the glass and garnish with a slice of lime. Now go make some friends!
Notes
- You can easily make Virgin Loquat Margaritas by leaving the tequila and triple sec out and doubling the amount of juice.
- Another way to remove the seeds (without getting your fingernails black from handling the seeds) is to use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds (a reader tip, thanks, Monica)!
- Honey or another sweetener can be added instead of grenadine. This will also help to keep the margarita orange in color.
