Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- 1/2 cup silver tequila
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or triple sec)
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp simple syrup (or to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Salt or sugar for rimming glasses (optional)
- Lime wedges and cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- If rimming glasses, rub a lime wedge around the edge and dip in salt or sugar. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine cherries, tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice.
- Blend until smooth. Add more ice if desired for a slushier texture.
- Pour into prepared glasses.
- Garnish with lime wedges and cherries if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup to taste.
- Frozen cherries make the drink extra cold and slushy without diluting the flavor.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for a few hours before serving—stir or blend again before pouring.
