  1. Rub the lime wedge around the rim of an old-fashioned glass. Dip and rotate the rim in the saucer of sugar, making sure to keep the sugar on the outside. In a blender, combine the chai ice cubes, tequila, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and sugar. Blend on the pulse setting until slushy.
  2. Pour into the sugar-rimmed glass.
  3. For those who prefer their libations over ice, fill a sugar-rimmed old-fashioned glass one-third full of chai ice cubes. Follow the recipe for Green Tea Margarita, using the blender's pulse feature to blend the ingredients until the ice is just coarsely chopped and the mixture is frothy. Strain the mixture through a bar strainer into the prepared glass.
