Strawberry Margaritas
This is the first recipe I ever bought hard liquor for. And it still seems to be the first one I make when the sun (finally) rolls around. It's easy to make and so refreshing. My photo does not do it justice, and my photoshop skillz are not developed enough to make it better. Just imagine the bright pink, icy, tequila-y goodness. Mmmm.
Frozen Strawberry Margaritas
The original recipe called for an old-fashioned 10 oz. can of frozen sliced and sweetened strawberries - they were retro-fun with tin bottoms and cardboard sides (which also made them a bit messy). Now all the grocery stores in my area have switched to 16 oz. Cool Whip-style tubs. I printed the proper proportions of each below, so you can adapt to whichever quantity is available in your area - the first number is for 10oz of strawberries, the second is for 16oz.. You can also make it with plain old frozen strawberries - just add some sugar and water to taste and texture.10 oz.(16 oz.) package sliced, sweetened, frozen strawberries (slightly thawed - a day in the fridge or 90 seconds in the microwave should do the trick)
1/3 (1/2) cup limeade concentrate (frozen)
1/2 (3/4) cup tequila (or water)
1/6 (1/4) cup triple sec (or orange juice)
Whril in the blender for about 30 seconds. Add ice to the 28 oz (36 oz) mark on the blender. Pulse and blend until smooth. Serves 3-4, in theory.
** funny note: I've always written the tequila as 1/3 + 1/6 cup. I finally figured out that 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. Duh. I actually had to figure it out 3 ways before I believed it.
Who am I?
