How I Discovered This Frozen Virgin Margarita

One scorching summer afternoon, I craved something refreshing. A cold, citrusy margarita came to mind—but I didn’t want the alcohol. So, I threw together lime juice, orange juice, agave syrup, and ice in a blender. What came out was magic: a frozen virgin margarita that hit all the right notes—tangy, sweet, and icy cold.
