Ingredients

"Amaretto gives this drink a fun twist! Frosty glasses rimmed with amaretto and sugar make this drink even better."
4 fluid ounces amaretto liqueur, plus
additional
white sugar
6 fluid ounces frozen limeade concentrate 6 fluid ounces tequila
1/2 cup orange juice
6 cups ice

Steps:

Dip the rims of 4 margarita glasses in amaretto, then into sugar; set aside. Pour the limeaid, tequila, amaretto, orange juice, and ice into the bowl of a blender. Puree until smooth, then pour into prepared glasses.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh lime juice. You'll need about 2 limes to get ¼ cup of juice.
If you don't have amaretto liqueur, you can substitute another almond-flavored liqueur, such as Frangelico.
For a sweeter margarita, add an extra ½ ounce of agave nectar. If you like your margaritas sour, reduce the agave nectar to 1 ounce.
Garnish your margaritas with a lime wheel or twist and a sprinkle of salt. Serve immediately.
Be sure to chill your glasses before serving. This will help keep your margaritas cold and refreshing.
