Notes
- Choose a powerful blender to crush ice effectively and create a smooth, consistent texture without large ice chunks.
- For a non-alcoholic version, swap tequila and triple sec with additional Mountain Dew Baja Blast or coconut water for tropical flavor.
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the frozen drink frosty and prevent rapid melting during serving.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled for a brighter, more vibrant citrus taste that enhances the overall drink experience.
