Margarrrita

.

I love a good Margarita, don't you? I'm not too terribly picky -- I like frozen, or not, strawberry, lime, or just about any other fruit flavor (maybe not banana). I don't however, like Margarita mixes. They leave that sticky, sour taste in my throat. Blech. It's so easy to make a good Margarita without mix, why sacrifice the taste?

My mom requested a Margarrrita on her birthday, which we celebrated over the weekend. A frozen Margarita on the deck, on a gorgeous May evening -- not much better in my book. I really like this recipe -- it's pretty perfect, if you ask me. It's tart, but not too, and sweet, but not too. It's easy (no such thing as too easy).

Frozen Lime Margarrrita
2 to 3 large drinks

1 can frozen limeade
1 1/2 cups Tequila (I use gold, but white is fine)
1/2 c. Triple Sec
2 cups crushed ice (if your blender can handle whole cubes, use 3 cups)
kosher salt
lime slices

Put frozen limeade, tequila, triple sec and ice
in blender and blend on high until smooth.
Rub lime slice around edge of glasses and
dip rim in kosher salt all around.
Fill glasses with Margarita and garnish with lime.
