Check out this recipe for a creamsicle margarita. It has orange juice, orange liqueur, tequila, and ice cream to make it sweet, creamy, citrusy and delicious!
Being Texan, I am no stranger to margaritas. In fact, you could say I am like the Bubba Gump of margaritas.
Lime margaritas, mango margaritas, strawberry margaritas, pineapple margaritas, watermelon margaritas, jalapeno margaritas (yes, it’s a thing), grapefruit margaritas…
The list goes on (and on and on). So believe me when I say this is one of my favorite ways to enjoy a cocktail. It tastes exactly like a creamsicle – literally!
It’s a wonderful blend of orange and vanilla, with enough tequila to get you feeling breezy.
Like I said, it’s the ultimate creamsicle margarita.
So everyone knows that you put triple sec or Cointreau in a margarita right? What if I told you there’s something even better?
Agavero Orange. It’s an orange liqueur that is tequila based (because mo’ tequila is mo’ better), and I find that it has a smoother citrus flavor.
So this creamsicle margarita can be made two ways – frozen or neat. I’ve made them both ways now and each is excellent, so it’s really up to personal preference. I’ve written in detail how to do it below.
