Tips
- Keep the spirits out of the base. Alcohol stops it freezing hard, so the tequila and liqueur go in right before processing.
- For an alcohol-free version, use 6 tbsp cold water or limeade in place of the tequila and liqueur.
- Too thick to sip? Add 2 tbsp cold water and run Re-spin.

Why it works
Lime syrup at about 16% sugar freezes firm enough to shave into fine ice, and the spirits added at the end loosen it into a smooth slush without watering it down.
