Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all the necessary ingredients listed above. Make sure to have your tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice ready.
- Fill the Ice Reservoir: Open the top of the Margaritaville machine and fill the ice reservoir with a lot of ice. The amount needed will depend on how many margaritas you plan to make.
- Measure the Liquids: In a cocktail shaker, measure out 2 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of orange liqueur, 1 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. Shake the mixture well to ensure it is combined thoroughly.
- Shave the Ice: Close the lid of the Margaritaville machine and choose how you want the ice (classic frozen or smooth). Turn on the machine to shave the ice and make a great icy base for your margaritas.
- Blend the Mixture: Once the ice is shaved, pour the cocktail mixture into the cup holder of the machine. Use the blending feature to mix the ice and liquid ingredients together until smooth.
- Serve the Margarita: Rim your glasses with black salt if desired. Pour the blended margarita into the prepared glasses, and garnish with a lime wedge for that extra touch.

Notes
Always rinse and clean the ice reservoir, blending container, and any removable parts immediately after using the machine. This prevents the buildup of residue or unpleasant odors. After cleaning, make sure to dry all components thoroughly before reassembling and storing them to avoid mold or mildew growth.
