Tequila/Mezcal
Classic Frozen Margarita
The frozen drink with a documented birthday — 1971, Dallas, a repurposed soft-serve machine.
Every recipe on Sipped Right is tested at home before it's published — not just written.
Origin
Traces to 1971 Dallas restaurateur Mariano Martinez, who adapted a soft-serve machine into the first frozen margarita machine — genuinely well-documented, unusual for a drink this ubiquitous.
Flavour Profile
Good for a hot day when a classic Margarita feels too thin. Not for someone who wants a crisp, shaken texture.
Glass & Garnish
Margarita or rocks glass, salt rim optional.
