ORANGE MARGARITA

I love the fresh taste of orange margaritas. If you like your margarita sweet, add a sugar rim to the glasses instead of the classic salt rim.

EASY ORANGE MARGARITA

I prefer mixed drinks with the liquor disguised. I'm also attracted more so to a frosty drink especially if it's one with the ingredients I have on hand. This is a smooth and creamy margarita. Exchange the orange sherbet for other flavors for something different. The serving amount can easily be increased, made ahead and frozen.
