Notes
- Frozen Version: Blend all the ingredients with 1 cup of ice for a frosty, slushy margarita.
- Make it sweeter: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add ½ oz simple syrup or agave nectar.

- Mocktail Version: Replace tequila and orange liqueur with sparkling water and a splash of orange juice for a refreshing non-alcoholic drink.
