Yes. Lemon creates a slightly less tart, more mellow frozen margarita; lime is traditional and more tart.
Silver or blanco tequila is ideal for frozen margaritas—it's crisp and mixes cleanly without aging influences.
Fresh lemon or lime juice delivers better flavor and balance; bottled tends to taste flat in cocktails.
Prepare and blend just before serving. Pre-blended batches will separate and lose texture as ice melts.
A standard 48–64 oz blender handles 1–2 drinks easily; scale up proportionally for larger batches.
