My favorite recipe:
Frozen Margaritas:
1 12 oz can of frozen limeade concentrate (Walmart's house brand is very good)
8 oz (~â…” of the empty limeade can) of good reposado tequila such as Hornitos or Heradura 4 oz (~â…“ empty limeade can) orange liqueur such as Gran Marnier or substitute (I use Gran Gala)
Lots of ice (about 2 cups per batch)
Empty limeade concentrate into a blender. Fill the empty can â…” full with tequila and add Gran Gala to fill the can. Add the combined booze to the blender. Blend briefly to thoroughly combine the base mix. Pour off half (1 can full) of the mix into a separate container and put in the freezer for later. Add about 2 cups of ice cubes (not crushed) to the blender, cover and blend on high until the batch is frozen, smooth and thick (few, if any ice chunks). If necessary or desired, add additional ice cubes 1 or 2 at a time with the blender running (I put them through the hole in the blender lid) to reach desired thickness. Each batch (2 batches per recipe) makes about 4 good sized frozen 'ritas. I serve them in traditional 'rita glasses with a cut straw and garnish with a lime wedge
Notes:
1. Using frozen concentrate prevents the drinks from getting watered down in taste or strength from the ice.
2.Unlike many other frozen 'ritas, these don't separate in the glass into drink and slush.
3. These drinks are pleasantly tart. They are not overly sweet like many made from prepared mixes.
