The Best 5-Minute Margarita!


This is THE BEST homemade Margarita I have ever made!  You can make it in under 5 minutes!  John & I had some friends over for a Mexican dinner this weekend.  I made three different pitchers of margaritas and this pitcher was gone before dinner was served!

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cup frozen Limeade concentrate (1 can)
4-1/2 cups Water (you can use the leftover Limeade can, 3 fills)
1/2 cup Pineapple Juice
1/2 cup Orange Juice
2 oz. Tequila
1 oz. Orange Liqueur

Directions:
Mix all ingredients into one large pitcher, stir, and serve over ice. 

Variation:  Add 1-2 cups of local, in season pureed fruit.  Watermelons are ripe here in the south so I mixed in a few cupfuls.  Yummy!  Or make it family friendly and omit the tequila & orange liqueur.

For my breastfeeding mommas:  If you are like me, you are very concerned about breastfeeding and consuming alcohol...for good reason!  Check out Kellymom.com for guidelines on nursing and alcohol consumption.  And always trust your super power momma instincts!
