Make up a batch or two of these Camping Margaritas for delicious slushie on your next camping trip.

These margaritas require some advance planning because they need time to freeze before the camping trip.  As with any alcohol, they will not freeze solid.  They turn into the most amazing slushie margaritas and they really couldn’t be any easier.  Make up a batch or two of these Camping Margaritas for delicious slushie on your next camping trip.

I’ve learned over the years to double bag my margaritas because if I don’t something happens and the bag gets ruined and the margaritas end up spilling in the ice chest.  No that is a total camping fail…I refuse to let my margaritas spill, so I take the extra precautions to double bag everything.  Knock on wood, nothing has ruined them since I started doing that!

Make up a batch or two of these Camping Margaritas for delicious slushie on your next camping trip.

I have been using this recipe for probably 20 years and it’s always a hit when I pull the bag out on our camping trips.  Our friends go crazy that I’m able to bring a slushie margarita with us and pull it out of the ice chest a couple days into our trip.  Sippin’ one of these camping margaritas by the campfire is an amazing thing!

You don’t have to be headed out on a camping trip to enjoy these make ahead frozen margaritas.  They are great to keep in your freezer all summer long for impromptu parties. This is just a simple {and delicious} way to make a frozen margarita without a blender.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Make up a batch or two of these Camping Margaritas for delicious slushie on your next camping trip.

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) can limeade
  • 3 (12 ounce) cans water
  • 1 (12 ounce) can tequila + a couple splashes more
  • 6 ounces (1/2 can) can triple sec
  • 2 limes, cut into 6 wedges each
  • margarita salt

Instructions

  1. To keep this recipe even easier, use the limeade can to measure all the other ingredients.
  2. Place everything into a ziptop baggie. Place filled bag, into a second baggie to keep it safe during transport (it's easier to double bag it before it freezes.) Freeze for several days until firm, transfer to an ice chest filled with lots of ice.
  3. When ready to serve, break the mixture apart until it's slushy.
  4. Set out 8 cups and rub a lime wedge around the rim of each cup, dip in salt to coat the rim. Pour into plastic cups that have been rimmed with margarita salt. Serve with a wedge of fresh lime.

  1. Why don't you make it in an empty Ocean Spray juice bottle? Then you don't have to double bag and its easy to pour. I am getting ready to go on the Grand Canyon and going to use your recipe that way.

  2. Im going camping tomorrow so I only have about a day for them to freeze, should I just use ice instead of water and blend it first before placing it in the freezer? Would it still taste good if I do it that way or would that mess it up?

    • They should be fine with just a full day in the freezer. Although, I like the idea of blending with ice, then freezing...I might give that a try next time. Let me know how they turn out for you. w-

  3. Just made a huge batch, and wow, I was skeptical but this is really good and well balanced. No more over sweet mixes for us! This is also awesome to just make at the beginning of summer, then kept in the fridge for on demand margaritas when company comes! Thank you!

  4. I went to buy the ingredients and they didnt have any limeaid so I bought a can of frozen margarita, could I just add the tequila and no triple sec (maybe double the tequila 🤣🤣)? Also... I want to use it 2 days after putting it in the cooler (Cinco de mayo). Is that letting it thaw too much? If so, I'm just going to get a bottle of mix and try this out some other time. Would do a trial run but dont want to waste any tequila 😜

    • Hi Kara, I'm not sure what's all the in frozen margarita can so I can't say for sure about the triple sec. However, as for when to drink it...we drink them all trip long. The longer they are in the cooler the less slushy they are, so just keep it down at the bottom of the cooler until you are ready to drink. Enjoy! w-

  6. I love Margareta's. But I like mine "on the rocks". I don't like the slush kind because it gives me a head ache lol

    • You could add less alcohol if you are worried. I like a medium amount...I don't the alcohol to overpower the other flavors. Hopefully that gives you a guideline of where to start with the tequila. w-

  9. Do you push the air out of the zip lock baggies or do you leave the air in? I have them in the freezer right now.
