Margarita Recipe
 

I know this is a forum to discuss travel related issues, however, i'm giving a party next week and was wondering if anyone had any good margarita recipes?<BR><BR>Thanks

William Sonoma has a margarita mix that is to die for! Seriously, the best I've ever had. On the back are directions re: how much tequila to add - use more. Sorry but that's as close to recipe as I've ever gotten.

My husband makes a simple one everyone loves...and it's good enough that I'm spoiled for margaritas when we have them out somewhere. They generally don't measure up.<BR><BR>-1 6 oz can Minute Maid limeade frozen concentrate.<BR>-6 oz Cuervo Gold<BR>-1 healthy splash triple sec<BR>-fruit (strawberries, blueberries, peach, whatever) as desired, or plain.<BR><BR>Toss all into blender, fill to top with ice and blend to correct consistency.<BR><BR>Rub rim of glass with lime to moisten, dip glass into margarita salt, then fill.<BR><BR>A votre sante!<BR>

That didn't read quite the way I intended. Use one 6 oz can limeade, not a 16 oz can!!

My husband's recipe:<BR> Run a lime (cut) around rim of glass, dip in salt and microwave for 30 seconds to set the salt.<BR> 3 parts tequila, 1 part triple sec, 1 part lime juice (either Rose's Lime or if fresh juice must sweeten with simple syrup). Blend well and serve over shaved ice with a lime slice and a straw. Salud!

I can just see the Fodors folks deleting this one ASAP

But not before I copied the recipes!

Here's one that we have always liked. Don't drink too many though, as they taste good but pack a powerful punch!<BR>1 12 oz can of frozen limeade <BR>Fill the empty limeade can w/as much tequila as you like<BR>1 can of beer (your preference, we like Miller Light)<BR>Put this in a blender, fill the rest with ice and blend! <BR><BR> <BR>

Went to a marguarita party last summer where they were making them with fresh mango...AWESOME!

I never knock anything till I've tried it, but beer in a margarita? I'll pass on your place, cb. But when am I invited, Olive Oyl or plummie? Although I don't think I could walk after having a couple of plummie's recipe margaritas!

This is a recipe from our friend who owns a local Mexican restaurant and was nice enough to share it:<BR>(it's not cheap to make, but the taste is unsurpassed)<BR>Pour equal parts in either a blender or cocktail shaker with ice:<BR>- Patron tequila (either the silver or gold label)<BR>- Citronge liquer or Cointreau (under punishment of death, do not use Triple Sec)<BR>- Daily's liquid sweet &amp; sour mix (not margarita mix)<BR> Pour in glasses over ice, squeeze a lime wedge in each (you may desire salt on rim)<BR>You can't drink too many of these - quite powerful - but I won't drink any other 'rita!

The Margarita is made with just 3 ingredients: tequila, lime juice, and orange liquor such as Cointreau, Triple Sec, or Grand Marnier.<BR><BR>Shake with ice, salt optional.<BR><BR>Sour mix is gross. Way too sweet.<BR><BR>Tequila by-passes the stomach and goes directly to the head!

Hee, hee, good one, Patrick.

Alooohaaaaa,<BR>We found on our last trip to Kauai that if you take whichever Maggie recipe, you can &quot;kick it up a notch&quot; by adding a shot of KeKe Key Lime liquor and/or a shot of Tequila Rose.<BR>Man! 323 days may be too long to wait for another one. And after having to spend 2 days in Fresno, I may join Patrick shortly!<BR>Mahaloooooooo &lt;hic&gt;<BR>Kal

Okay. I've been holding back all day. But now it's quittin' time. Here goes.<BR>These are very simple:<BR><BR>1) Blue Margaritas:<BR>3 Parts Quervo 1800 Tequila<BR>1 Part Rose's Lime Juice<BR>1 Part Blue Curacao Liquer<BR><BR>Mix w/ice in stainless steel shaker<BR>Pour into salt rimmed chilled Margarita glasses<BR><BR>2) Midori Margaritas<BR>Same as above except substitute Midori (melon) Liquer for the Blue Curacao - These are really good!!!!<BR><BR>Enjoy!<BR><BR>JoeG

That's Jose Cuervo 1800 Tequila!

I like MM's recipe, with no sweetener except the triple sec or cointreau.

the frozen lime aid recipe is very good,especially for parties<BR>1 can lime aid<BR>1 can tequila<BR>1/2 can triple sec.<BR>be careful these are creepers. use lots of ice,<BR>get great recipes on line,try electric lemonade!!!!

OOOOOO I can't believe some many people use the lime aid. We do too. This must splain why the lime aid section at teh grocery store is always empty!!! : )<BR><BR>I really dislike the Margarita mixes sold in most grocery stores. <BR><BR>I'm printing this post for the variations to try this summer when it starts to boil around here!!!!! Tho I am getting a frozen brain just thinking about these drinks!!!!
