Ingredients

Frozen Cherry Margarita

  • 1½ cups frozen dark cherries
  • 2 oz BLNCD Fuse
  • 2 oz fresh lime juice
  • ½ oz fresh grapefruit juice (or 1 oz yuzu juice)
  • 1 oz agave nectar
  • ⅛ tsp xanthan gum (optional, for a thicker frozen texture)
  • ¾–1 cup crushed or pebble ice

Vanilla Cream Topping

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp agave nectar
  • ½ tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Raspberry Garnish

  • Flaky sea salt
  • Fresh lime zest
  • Cocktail cherries (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Vanilla Cream

In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, Greek yogurt, agave, vanilla bean paste, and salt. Whip until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 2: Blend the Frozen Margarita

Add the frozen cherries, BLNCD Fuse, lime juice, grapefruit juice (or yuzu), agave, xanthan gum, and ice to a blender. Blend until smooth and thick.

For an extra creamy, frozen texture, place the blended mixture in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Step 3: Prepare the Glasses

Run a lime wedge around half of each glass rim and dip into flaky sea salt.

Step 4: Assemble

Divide the frozen cherry mixture between two glasses. Spoon the vanilla cream generously over the top.

Step 5: Garnish

Finish with fresh lime zest, and a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Tips

Freeze your serving glasses for at least 30 minutes before assembling.

Xanthan gum helps create a thicker, bar-quality frozen texture but can be omitted.

Yuzu juice adds a bright citrus complexity, but grapefruit juice is an excellent substitute!
