Provided by Charlotte J

Categories     Beverages

Time 5m

Yield 4 Large Margaritas

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) container frozen limeade concentrate (recommended Bacardi brand)
ice cube (1 tray)
8 -12 fluid ounces tequila (8 shots)
4 cups cranberry juice

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high. Serve.
  • If your blender is small or not high-powered, make the margaritas in 2 batches.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter and more tart flavor than frozen cranberries. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Make the cranberry-lime simple syrup ahead of time: The cranberry-lime simple syrup can be made up to 2 weeks ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to make the margaritas.
  • Use a good quality tequila: The tequila is the main ingredient in margaritas, so it's important to use a good quality tequila. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, flavorful taste.
  • Serve the margaritas immediately: Margaritas are best served immediately after they are made. The ice will start to melt and dilute the flavor of the margaritas if you let them sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Cranberry-lime margaritas are a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like your margaritas sweet, tart, or somewhere in between, you're sure to find a cranberry-lime margarita that you'll love.
