- Add ice to a blender and pulse a few times to start crushing it. Then include the raspberries, club soda, lemonade mix, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and tequila. Blend until the mixture becomes thick and smooth, which takes around 30 seconds.
- Pour about 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into a small shallow dish. In a separate dish, spread a thin layer of salt (table salt works, but kosher salt is preferable). Dip the rims of the glasses first into the lemon juice, then into the salt. Fill the prepared glasses with the blended frozen mixture and serve immediately.
