Cinco de Mayo - Everyday Cooking
Authentic margaritas call for lots of fresh lime juice - both expensive and time-consuming. I've found I can shortcut the process by using frozen limeade. And for a festive non-alcoholic drink, combine a 12-ounce can of limeade (thawed) with a 48-ounce bottle of sparkling water.
Servings: 8 Yield: 8 6-ounce drinks
Easy Frozen Margaritas
2 quarts ice cubes
1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate
12 fluid ounces tequila (measure with empty limeade can)
¼ cup Cointreau
margarita or kosher salt for the rims
lime slices cut in half
Everyday Cooking Step 1 Working in 2 batches place 1 quart ice cubes in a blender. Add 1/2 can limeade 6 ounces tequila and 2 tablespoons Cointreau. Blend at highest speed until drink is almost smooth. Pour into a pitcher and repeat with remaining ingredients. Store in the freezer. Step 2 To salt the margarita glasses pour a single layer of salt on a salad plate. Moisten each glass rim with lime; dip each rim in the salt. Pour margaritas into each glass; garnish with lime. Serve immediately.
