Having upgraded our Osterizer to a Vitamix, we've arrived at the point of foregoing lime juicing for Margaritas as a waste of time & nutrients. Instead of all that squeezing, we quickly strip the rind off uncut limes with a veg peeler and throw the whole naked fruit into the blender, pre-blending a bit before the final addition of ice. The acrid characteristic of the lime rind adds a more ascetic - dare I say "adult" - aspect to the drink; temper with more syrup if you like.
Simple syrup? Whazzat?
A dash of agave syrup is a really good (more authentic?) substitute for the simple syrup.
Everything ingredient-wise was great but needs more ice to keep the icy suspension and not separate ice at top and liquid at the bottom of the glass.
On a day nearing 100 degrees in California, this is nectar of the gods.
Any ideas on how to covert this recipe to be made in an ice cream freezer? I assume add water instead of ice. It how much?
