EASY FROZEN MARGARITAS

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.

Tips:

Use fresh limes: Fresh lime juice will give your margarita a brighter, more flavorful taste than bottled lime juice.
Don't skimp on the tequila: A good margarita should have a strong tequila flavor. Use a high-quality tequila that you enjoy drinking on its own.
Use orange liqueur: Orange liqueur adds a subtle sweetness and complexity to margaritas. Grand Marnier is a popular choice, but you can also use Cointreau or another orange liqueur.
Add simple syrup: Simple syrup helps to balance out the tartness of the lime juice and tequila. You can make your own simple syrup by dissolving equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan over low heat.
Use ice cubes or crushed ice: Ice cubes will give your margarita a more slushy texture, while crushed ice will make it smoother. If you're using crushed ice, be sure to pack it tightly into your glass so that the margarita doesn't get too watery.
Garnish with a lime wedge or salt: A lime wedge or salt rim adds a finishing touch to your margarita. If you're using a salt rim, be sure to wet the rim of the glass with lime juice before dipping it in salt.

Conclusion:

Frozen margaritas are a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy tequila. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a frozen margarita that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a party or just relaxing at home, a frozen margarita is sure to hit the spot.
