Steps:
- Combine the sugar and ⅓ cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Whisk together the tequila, lime juice, cooled sugar syrup, orange liqueur and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Freeze until slushy in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 45 minutes (see Cook's Note). Transfer the frozen margaritas to a chilled pitcher. Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Fill a small plate with an even layer of salt. Moisten the rims of 4 chilled rocks or wine glasses and press into the salt to rim the edges. Divide the margaritas among the glasses. Serve with lime wedges.

DOUBLE BERRY MARGARITAS IN THE ICE CREAM MAKER
Bought a new ice cream maker and I just love the slushy consistancy you get with frozen drinks. Here is one I made the other day to use up some berries. Leave the sugar out if you want. I added it and liked it so I am leaving it in.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the taste of your margarita. Choose fruit that is in season and has a deep, rich color.
- Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice is essential for a great margarita. Bottled lime juice will not give you the same flavor or acidity.
- Don't skimp on the tequila: A good margarita should have a strong tequila flavor. Use a high-quality tequila that you enjoy drinking on its own.
- Use an ice cream maker: An ice cream maker is the best way to get a smooth, frozen margarita. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make a margarita, but it won't be as smooth.
- Garnish your margarita: A margarita is not complete without a garnish. A lime wedge is the classic garnish, but you can also use other fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries.
