This margarita mix was perfected in Seattle, Washington based on vast margarita consumption in Tucson, AZ during the 1980s. Nearly every person who has tried this recipe has enjoyed it. Even folks who "hate tequila and hate margaritas" wind up liking this recipe and making their own margaritas.
| Tequila |
One cup (8 ounces) |
| Triple sec |
a quarter cup |
| Limeade frozen concentrate
|
half can (6 ounces)
|
| Lemon juice |
one fresh lemon |
| Ice |
Two cups large cubes |
| Water |
a half cup |
Mixing the Ingredients
1. Get a blender. You do not need a a good one because there is not a requirement for crushing ice.
2. Put the ice cubes in the blender.
3. Pour in the tequila and triple sec so that the ice starts diluting the liquor.
4. Using your straining device to keep out lemon seeds, squeeze that fresh lemon into the blender.
5. Pour in the lime aide concentrate. Try not to exceed the prescribed amount -- go light on this stuff (if anything).
6. Pulse or blend only long enough to get the concoction mixed so that it sort of fizzes and changes consistancy slightly. Blending into crushed ice is OK, I just do not prefer it.
7. Toss 4 ice cubes into a 12 ounce, salt rimmed glass, and then pour the margarita!
8. Cut up a lime and hang it off the edge of the glass. This is completely optional. Only garnishment.
