We can tell you what our recipe for the best margarita is, but then we will have to kill you. Over the last year or so, we have posted many drink recipes, but none so popular as the margarita recipes. Now, what we neglected to mention or include, is the frozen margarita. Although the drink recipes stay the same, the difference of course is the crushed ice.
Now what do you need exactly to make the perfect FROZEN margarita?? The perfect blender.
You cannot use just any type of blenders. Either the ice is crushed so much that it is practically liquefied, or not enough and the result is a chunky monkey margarita…. hmmm, nice drink name.
The blenders are what provide the perfect texture for the frozen margarita. After some research, we have found that a blender that will provide you with the consistency needed will be in the price range of $20 - $98. Broad range, we know, but we consider different budgets without losing much quality.
The one we found best was the Hamilton Beach 50754 WaveStation 10 Speed and at a reasonable of price of just $35.
A good comparison site to view the list of the top blenders for margaritas can be found here ->.
Hope this was informative…. keep tending!

The origin of the cocktail is a contested story whose truth may never fully come to light. does any one knows?

The origin actually started in the early on the 1st Century AD when Tequila was discovered/invented. Among the pantheon of Aztec gods was TepoztÃcal, the god of alcoholic merriment. Tequila, and Mezcal, trace their origins back at least two thousand years. One or more of the Indian tribes that inhabited what is now central Mexico discovered that the juice of the agave plant, if left exposed to air, would ferment and turn into a milky, mildly alcoholic drink. News of this discovery spread throughout agave-growing areas. The Aztecs called this beverage octili poliqhui, a name that the Spaniards subsequently corrupted into pulque (POOL-kay). It was so named until 1656 when the small village (named after the local Ticuilas Indians) were given the right to take the drink after them. It was only a matter of days before the margarita was invented by accident. Started when locals spilled cocnut milk into the tequila. Disliking the taste but curious about other mixtures, the “town drunk” (for no better name) began mixing. Although he discovered many mixtures he liked, it was the mixure of lime juice that his soon to be bride really favored. His soon to be bride? Mararita. So named. There you have the real story.
