No — blending with ice is essential to achieve the frozen texture. Without a blender, serve it as a regular cocktail over ice instead.
Gavilan tequila is the original choice, but any silver or blanco tequila will work well in this frozen drink.
Use about 1–1.5 cups of ice per drink; adjust for your blender's power and desired consistency — thicker requires more ice.
Blend just before serving for best texture. You can pre-measure ingredients and freeze them in batches, then blend when ready.
Fresh lime juice yields brighter, more complex flavor; bottled is convenient but less aromatic — fresh is recommended.
