1 cup ice cubes

In a blender, pour the tequila, Blue Curacao, and lime juice over the cup of ice. Turn the blender to high speed and blend the ingredients for few seconds till the ice turns into a thick slurpee. In a margarita glass, run a wedge of lime around the edges of the glass. Pour some table salt in a small plate and dip the glass in it. Pour the drink into the margarita glass and enjoy the frozen margarita.

Serving Tips
Instead of serving the drinks in a highball glass, serve in unusually shaped drinking glasses. Place the drinks on colorful coasters.
Give the glasses a frosted edge as you dip the rim in lemon juice and then in refined sugar.
You can also add some colorful decorations to finish the overall look for the drink, such as drink umbrellas, paper flowers, sparklers, and colored swizzle sticks.
Instead of putting big chunks of ice cubes, substitute crushed ice. The appearance of the drink from outside the glass will be fantastic.
To finish the garnished look, add cocktail sticks to twist or skewer fruits so that it stays on the rim of the glass.
