Cookies and Cream Margarita

I have to admit. One of my favorite cookies inspired me to make this Cookies and Cream Margarita and now I’m obsessed. I can’t stop thinking about dipping another OREO into my margarita!

When I first decided to make this simple cookies & cream margarita, I wasn’t super sure what to expect.

I just knew that I had to try it.

And wow.

Just wow.

I can’t believe how awesome this cookies and cream margarita tastes–and I’m kind of obsessed with it.

Do you know what’s better than an OREO cookie dipped in milk? An OREO cookie dipped in a margarita.

No jokes.

What You Need to Make this Cookies & Cream Margarita

One of the best things about this amazingly easy cookie-based margarita is that it’s just like cookies and cream ice cream. 

I’m not joking, it’s like a yummy cookies and cream ice cream, but in slushie form.

So sweet.

And it only takes a handful of ingredients that I had around the house:

• 1 shot Tequila
• 1/2 shot Triple Sec
• 8-10 OREO Double-Stuff cookies
• 2 cups ice
• Corn Syrup for rimming

How to Make this Cookies and Cream Margarita

Step 1

Open all of the OREOs.

Step 2

Scrape cream into large bowl with ice. Set aside cookie exteriors. If you have to, eat one. 

Step 3

Add triple sec and tequila. I personally have no preference for alcohol brands. I mean, I can taste the difference between different wines, but when you put lime and ice in with some salt and tequila–I really don’t know that I can taste the different tequila flavors.

Step 4

Blend. Now, this sounds simple enough, but you want to blend really well. I used my trusty immersion blender. Cheap little workhorse makes perfectly crushed ice for margaritas every time.

Step 5

Place cookie exteriors in a sandwich bag. (what else do you call them? shells?!)

Step 6

Crush cookie exteriors with a rolling pin or your hand.

Step 7

Add 2 tablespoons of crushed cookie exteriors to blended mixture and stir gently until cookie exteriors are combined well.

Step 8

Rim glass with corn syrup

Step 9

Dip rim of glass in remaining crushed OREO cookies. 

Step 10

Pour blended mixture into glass. Kick your feet back and enjoy!
