Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box nilla vanilla wafers, crushed
1/2 lb almonds, chopped
4 oz white chocolate
1/4 c tequila
1/4 c orange marmalade
2 Tbsp light corn syrup

Steps:

  • 1. Mix 1 box (12 oz) vanilla wafers, crushed into crumbs, with 1/2 lb ground blanched almonds. Melt four 1 oz squares white chocolate according to package directions. In blender, process tequila, orange marmalade, and light corn syrup until smooth. Stir, along with melted chocolate, into crumb mixture. Shape into 1 inch balls and coat with sugar. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes. The key to a great margarita is fresh, juicy limes. If you can, use Meyer lemons instead of regular lemons for a sweeter flavor.
  • Chill your ingredients. This will help to create a smooth, refreshing cocktail. You can chill your lime juice, tequila, and Cointreau in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes before making the margaritas.
  • Use a good quality tequila. Don't skimp on the tequila! A good quality tequila will make all the difference in the flavor of your margaritas.
  • Don't over-shake the margaritas. Over-shaking will make the margaritas cloudy and foamy. Shake the margaritas just until they are well combined, about 10 seconds.
  • Serve the margaritas immediately. Margaritas are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Margarita balls are a fun and festive way to enjoy your favorite cocktail. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them sweet, sour, or somewhere in between, there's a margarita ball recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious treat, give margarita balls a try!
