Virgin Margaritas

Virgin Margaritas

Introduction:
A mexican cocktail that goes well with any dish. The salty rim, give the sweet/tart cocktail just way it needs. The key to making a good margarita is keep the ice from melting. This will cause you to have to put more ice in and reblend it and in turn, will make the drink watery.

Materials:

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt1 6-ounce can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 lime, cut into 4 equal size wedges
  • 4 cups ice cubes

Preparation:

  1. Moisten the rim of the serving glasses with a little lime juice.
  2. Put the salt in a large saucer or shallow pie pan.
  3. Invert each glass in the salt, and gently twist to coat the rim with salt.
  4. Place the limeade concentrate, orange juice and ice cubes in a conventional blender or frozen drink mixer.
  5. Blend at high speed until the ice pulverizes and the drink is thoroughly mixed.
  6. Pour into glasses and be careful not to disturb the salt on the rims.
  7. Garnish the drinks with lime wedges and serve.
Results:
A refreshing addition to any meal, although there was no booze, it didn't keep them from being a great addition to the chocolate day. It was quick easy and a more hands on approach to making margaritas as opposed to buying the pre made mix.
