Freezer Door Key Lime Pie Margaritas
These freezer door key lime pie margaritas come together right in the tequila bottle before chilling in the freezer for an easy make-ahead cocktail. For the best flavor, use a high-quality tequila, and don’t skip the graham cracker rim dipped in sweetened condensed milk—it’s the finishing touch that gives each sip its signature key lime pie-inspired flavor.
Ingredients
Method
- Pour out 12 ounces of tequila from the bottle; reserve for another use.
- Add key lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar directly into the tequila bottle. Replace cap and carefully shake until well combined.
- Place the bottle in the freezer door. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
- To prepare glasses, place graham cracker crumbs on a small plate. Dip rims of glasses into sweetened condensed milk, then dip into crumbs to coat. Fill glasses with ice.
- Remove bottle from freezer and gently shake to recombine. For each drink, pour 3 fluid ounces of the margarita mixture over ice in a cocktail shaker. For a sweeter drink, If desired, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sweetened condensed milk. Cover and shake for about 1 minute to chill and dilute. Serve over ice. Garnish with key lime slices.
