Step-by-Step Instructions for the Perfect Frozen Aperol Peach Margarita:

Let's blend up some summer magic!

Step 1: Prepare Your Peaches (if using fresh)

If you're using fresh peaches, wash them thoroughly, remove the pit, and slice them into small wedges.
Spread the peach slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. This is crucial for achieving that perfect frozen consistency without watering down your drink.

Step 2: Rim Your Glasses (Optional but Recommended)

If you desire a rimmed glass, take a lime wedge and moisten the rim of your margarita glass.
Dip the rim into a shallow dish of sugar or a mixture of sugar and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Blend Your Margarita

In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen peach slices, Tequila Blanco, Aperol, fresh lime juice, and agave nectar (or simple syrup).
Add the ice. If you used frozen peaches, you might need less ice, so start with a smaller amount and add more if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and has a slushy-like consistency. If it's too thick, add a tiny splash of water or orange juice. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes.

Step 4: Pour and Garnish!

Pour the blended Frozen Aperol Peach Margarita into your prepared glasses.
Garnish with a fresh lime wedge, a slice of peach, and a sprig of fresh mint for an extra touch of elegance and aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy!
